A popular shop in Newcastle city centre has closed its doors to customers.
Vans on Blackett Street has been boarded up and signs in the window of the store have announced that it has permanently closed. The American brand, which sells skateboarding shoes and clothing has not given any indication of whether it will open another outlet in the city.
It means that shoppers will now have to travel to the nearest Vans stores in Edinburgh and Leeds or go online to return items bought at the Newcastle branch. The Newcastle store first opened in 2018.
