Another added: "That's a real loss to the high street. Great to nip in for bits rather than drive to the retail park."
A spokesperson for Peacocks confirmed the closure but The Sun has also reached out for a comment.

Once again customers shared their reaction on social media.
One Facebook user said: "That's a shame. Another hole in the high street."
Another added: "Lucky we still have one in our area."
A simply wrote: "Tut tut."
A further 200 branches have also shut up shop in recent years after the brand fell into administration.
