    Paperchase in Harrogate is holding a closing down sale after the company went into administration this week.

    Tesco bought the rights to the cards, gifts and stationery brand, entitling it to sell Paperchase items in its supermarkets, but did not buy the stores.

    It means the shop on James Street is one of 106 stores facing uncertain futures. More than 800 staff nationally are affected.

    Signs have now gone up in the window confirming the closure, although the final day of trading is not yet known.

    In-store notices confirm administrators Begbies Traynor have been running the business since Tuesday.

    They say no further gift cards will be sold and customers have until 5pm on February 14 to use existing gift cards.
