A FAMILY jewellers in Leigh will close its doors for the last time at the end of the month after being open for nearly 135 years.

Prestons Jewellers on Bradshawgate, which has been open since 1869, will close on June 21.

The shop last week took out a half page advert in the Journal to tell readers of the closure.

But the manager of the shop did not wish to comment on why the shop was closing.
