Watsons to close
ONE of Salisbury's longest standing retailers Watsons is closing at the end of the month.
Established in 1834, Watsons has been selling china, crystal and gifts for more than 170 years.
The business is run by Graham Annetts and four generations of his family have worked in the china and glass trade in Salisbury since 1898.
Watsons, in Queen Street, occupies one of the oldest buildings in the city dating back to 1306.
The shop will serve its final customer on Saturday, May 31.
