AN ISLE of Wight independent photographic retailer is to close its doors after 32 years serving in Newport.

Island Photo Centre says times have changed, and trading has become far more of a challenge recently, with stock supply problems.

Its Newport store on Upper St. James’ Street will move to join the Ryde Union Street store.

The change will complete by  Thursday, September 1.

A spokesperson said: “We'd like to thank all our customers, some of whom have been with us for the full 32 years!”

“Don't worry though, as Chris and Debs will be working in Ryde at 52 Union Street, where great service will be continued.”
