Beloved family-run retailer abruptly closes after 52 years on the high street

A BELOVED family-run retailer has abruptly closed after 52 years on the high street.

All Types Electrical in Rotherham shut for good after over five decades of trade on Christmas Eve.

The store, which sells electrical goods, was opened in 1972 by founder Maureen Stroughair and later taken over by her four children following her death.

Maureen’s daughter, Susan O’Brien, told the BBC that “changing shopping habits” forced the family to stop trading.
