IT was the news that none of us wanted to hear.

Weymouth is to lose its stalwart New Look branch next month - and it's fair to say residents are devastated.

Many of us have grown up with the brand - it is part of the fabric of the town, having had a presence in our high streets for more than half a century - 51 years to be precise.

We'd love see your pictures of shopping or working at New Look - and are calling on readers to send in pictures of the old St Mary Street and 915 branches.

We're also keen to hear from anyone who worked at the St Mary Street shop when it opened in the 1970s.

Or perhaps you just have fond memories shopping at the three branches over the years, or saving up pocket money to spend in 915 a teenager.

We will be running a story in celebration of the brand's 51-year long history in the town centre. 

Please share your thoughts, memories and pictures below and we'll publish your responses in a forthcoming article.
