CREW Clothing Company will open its new store in Salisbury on Thursday (November 7).

The retailer was based at 8 Queen Street, a Grade II*-listed building, until Saturday, November 2, when it closed for relocation.

Staff are now preparing to open in a more modern unit at 19-21 Butcher Row.

In October, Salisbury store manager Chris Whitaker said his team were looking forward to the move but sad to leave their “lovely” home behind.

There's a bit more footfall up that way. It will be nice.

“There's a lot of character in this building. It's lovely, but we're very limited with what we can do because it's a listed building.

“Hopefully, someone can take on this building and appreciate it, because we've had a long time here.”

The Butcher Row premises were occupied by Jaeger until November 2020.

8 Queen Street is being marketed with Myddelton & Major for £38,500 per year.
