People living and shopping in Nottingham have been urged to "see the beauty" of its most iconic department stores. It follows the release of a report which urged the 'imaginative reuse' of five of the city's buildings.
SAVE Britain's Heritage, a group seeking to protect historic buildings, compiled a list of the country's most at risk former department stores, as well as those that had been "given new life". Many are facing an uncertain future as high street retail continues its decline into 2022.
A department store in Mansfield was also listed in the report. It argues these so-called 'cathedrals of commerce' should be brought back in to use in imaginative and innovative ways which respect the buildings' history.
