THE doors of Oldham's Debenhams are officially closed.

Following the closure of stores across the UK, staff who worked at the Spindles department store have been reminiscing about their times there.

It's an end of an era for staff and customers alike and our shopping experience will never be the same.

Debenhams was founded in 1813 and first opened up in London, becoming a household name for all that shopped there.
