I just saw this and searched on forum couldn't see any info on here.
Hattons announce closure after 70 years.
Hatton closure (https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/news/tributes-pour-in-for-hattons-model-railways/)
website (https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail?id=1498)
There are multiple threads, but it's being discussed in the main Hattons thread on the shop sub-forum.
Odd that searching Hattons didn't bring up any discussions one was recent pre Christmas and others were months and years old...
