A SHOE shop hit by fire is back up and running.

A spokesman for Clarks in Ledbury High Street said: “In December 2018, a fire in our Ledbury branch caused significant smoke damage to the building and caused the temporary closure of our store.

“Thanks to the hard work of the repair team, the restoration was rapid and we were very happy to re-open the store in February.”

Since then shop workers say there has been continued support from local people, who were relieved to see the shop returned to its former glory.
