A much- oved family business that has served the community for over 100 years is set to close its doors.
From its base on Queens Road in Southport Oldfield Automobiles can trace its roots back to 1893 and is set to cease trading at the end of October. One of the four family members and owners, Steven Oldfield said the business is to close due to people retiring, but said soaring prices and cost of living would be serious concerns if the business were to continue.
The historic company is now selling off all its stock and Steven who has run the business for the last forty years said he is "ready to enjoy a bit of downtime".
