UK - London - Jessops photo stores packing boxes

A workman wheels in packing boxes into the Oxford Street store of photo retailer Jessops. Placed into administration by its owners, the high-street branch of UK chain of photographic merchandise and equipment, staff are busy behind shutters packing company assets and stock to be sold elsewhere. Jessops shut all the doors of its 187 UK stores, resulting in the loss of about 1,370 jobs, for the last time. Founded in Leicester in 1935 by Frank Jessop, it has been hit in recent years by increasing competition from supermarkets and internet retailers.
