A high street newsagent has closed its doors for the final time, after serving its community for 116 years.

GW Hurley Newsagents, in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, opened in 1919 in the premises of a former sweet shop and has stayed in the same family ever since.

Colin Morris, who has run the shop for 55 years, said his health had forced him and his wife, Monika, to close down for the final time on Saturday.

He said: “I was born here, my grandparents started it off, then my mother and father came in, and then I’ve been here, my wife and kids have been here and it’s just gone on and on.”
