Coronavirus: 200-year-old family shoe shop to reopen
A shoe shop run by eight generations of the same family for more than 200 years is preparing to reopen as coronavirus restrictions begin to lift.
W. J. French & Son has been trading in Southampton since 1803, but estimates it has lost more than £100,000 during the lockdown.
The shop will reopen on Monday with social distancing measures in place, including plastic screens so shoes can be safely fitted by staff.
