Stationery retailer WH Smith is leaving its large unit at Meadowhall after many years.

The shop on upper High Street next to Boots is advertising a closing down sale.

It comes as the business is in talks to sell 500 high street stores. The company says its travel retail arm - which operates from airports, railway stations and hospitals - now accounts for more than 85 per cent of profits.
