DEPARTMENT store Beales has started its sales ahead of its closure in September.
Large signs have been placed in the window of the store on Fore Street announcing cut price discounts.
The store will close in Hexham on September 21 with its boss Tony Brown blaming poor trade and high business rates for the demise of the store.
