FOLLOWING on from the Hennighan's plea for a Littlewoods store in Blackburn (LET, August 9), I have been informed that the store in Preston is due for closure in March next year, much to the dismay of it's many loyal customers.

I understand that yet another boutique for the younger members of society is to take its place.

I and lots of my friends -- in the, shall I say, "senior age group --always manage to find comfortable, casual and smart clothes in Littlewoods.

We will all mourn it's demise.
