I WRITE to express my dismay that the ground floor of the once revered Tyrers department store has opened as yet another budget store.


As if we don’t already have enough of such outlets in this town.

The Tyrers shop (which has no connection to the new store) with its long, proud history in St Helens was synonymous with quality goods for sale in quality surroundings and, of course, quality service.


I hope to see that the name Tyrer’s will be removed.
