A popular clothing shop in a Wiltshire town centre has officially closed after the chain collapsed into administration.
The Original Factory Shop branch in Melksham, which had been at 81 Market Place, closed down on March 22, after the discount retailer fell into administration in January of this year.
The branch Facebook page has now been removed, and Melksham is no longer listed as a location on the firm's website.
The Market Place shop revealed its official last day in mid-March amid an advertising campaign for its closing down sale, with prices slashed and posters announcing that “everything must go”.

Stores around the country have since been holding “closing down” sales. In Wiltshire, the Warminster branch had already closed, while Corsham announced it would be closing its doors on Saturday, March 21.
Posting on the Melksham branch’s Facebook page on March 10, a spokesperson said: “It is with great sadness that we can now inform you all that we will be closing our doors for the final time on Sunday 22nd March.”
An earlier post stated that the branch received its last ever order the day before the official closing date was revealed.
