Rumours that WH Smith on the Isle of Man could be taking over the old Woolworths building have been scotched by the firm.
It had been suggested the company had put notice out it was to relocate to the larger Woolworths site across the road.

However, the company says there are no such plans for the Douglas store, which will continue to trade at its usual site for the forseeable future.
