Hays Travel (closed), Gosport - 1 January 2020

Hays Travel, 95-96 High Street, Gosport.

It is nearly eight years since I started documenting the state of retail and commercial business in Gosport. I have visited High Street, Gosport from time to time, not always taking photographs and it has wearied me. Businesses there have not fared well.

This, though, is a special case. The shop was a Thomas Cook until September 2019 and, after their collapse, this along with many others nationwide was taken over by Hays Travel. With their existing branch almost opposite at 62 High Street, it was probably inevitable that some consolidation would occur. The property shown appears now to contain just a few pieces of equipment and will, presumably, become another hard to let unit.
