Thomas Cook, Gosport - 22 September 2019

On the morning of Sunday 22 September 2019, the storm clouds were already gathering over the Thomas Cook company. Only hours later, their financial collapse was confirmed and shops like this at 95-96 High Street, Gosport would not open again.

I record such developments with great sadness. Whatever the circumstances of such now too frequent failures, the human cost to holidaymakers but especially the thousands of employees should never be underestimated or forgotten.
