Jobs go as Market Drayton shoe shop shuts

A Shropshire shoe shop is to close, putting five jobs at risk. Bosses at Stead & Simpson, in Cheshire Street, Market Drayton, blamed poor trading conditions and spiralling costs for their decision.

No date has yet been fixed. A shoe shop has been at the site since the 1970s.

A statement from owners Shoe Zone confirmed the decision to close the store.
