:00:51. > :00:55.ruined. Now she is worried about the house. We are moving out what
:00:55. > :01:00.we can and standing the furniture on beer crates. I do not know what

:01:44. > :01:49.restaurant. Tonight, the Environment Agency said they did

:02:15. > :02:18.court after two people suffered knife injuries at a house in
:02:18. > :02:22.Beeston at the weekend. It happened on Alexandra Crescent on Saturday

:02:35. > :02:40.don't break the law. Chris Williamson, who represents Derby
:02:40. > :02:44.North, is also a trustee for the League Against Cruel Sports. Mr
:02:44. > :02:47.Williamson claims many hunts are still using hounds to kill foxes.
:02:47. > :02:50.But the local Countryside Alliance disputes that. They say the

:03:09. > :03:15.around 30 orders a week in the late 1990s. Now it ships up to 2,000

:03:22. > :03:24.its doors for the final time today after more than 150 years of
:03:24. > :03:28.trading. Its current owners say parking charges in the area have
:03:28. > :03:30.forced them out, but as Tom Brown reports, it isn't quite the end for
:03:30. > :03:33.the business. Back in 1854, Britain had just
:03:33. > :03:36.declared war on Russia to enter the Crimean War, Charles Dickens had
:03:36. > :03:42.just written his 10th novel and here in Nottingham, a man called
:03:42. > :03:47.William Taylor had just opened a jewellery shop. 158 years later, it
:03:47. > :03:50.is still going, or at least it was until today. After a downturn in
:03:50. > :03:56.high street trade, the current owners, Andrew Bates and Terry
:03:56. > :03:59.Marshall, decided to close it down. The economic situation is not
:03:59. > :04:04.brilliant. Various things, alterations to traffic flow,
:04:04. > :04:10.parking, that kind of thing, have caused problems. Customers don't
:04:10. > :04:13.like it. They have difficulty getting into town, getting to us.
:04:13. > :04:17.The city council says parking charges are now cheaper and simpler.
:04:17. > :04:21.Customers say the shop will be missed.
:04:21. > :04:26.Very sorry to see it shut, I've been coming years since I was about
:04:26. > :04:32.seven with my father and grandfather, and my mother. It is a
:04:32. > :04:35.family tradition. It is not all bad news, Andrew and Kenny now plan to
:04:35. > :04:38.run the business from antiques fairs.
:04:38. > :04:48.But soon the photos will be all that remains of a shop that opened
:04:48. > :04:54.
:04:54. > :04:57.Good evening. It has been a damp day. The trend now is that things
:04:57. > :05:01.are drying out for a time, but after all that moisture through the
:05:01. > :05:04.day, as the temperatures drop, we are likely to see some mist and fog
:05:04. > :05:07.patches forming across the East Midlands. This is the rain that has
:05:07. > :05:11.been crossing over us doing the course of the day, brought some
:05:11. > :05:14.patchy outbreaks of rain on and off through the day. But for now, it is
:05:14. > :05:21.quite dry with cloudy skies. But that is where the mist and fog will
:05:21. > :05:24.start to develop. Temperatures around five Celsius. These showers
:05:24. > :05:26.just hanging around behind me here will be pushing in from the West
:05:26. > :05:29.through the course of early Christmas morning. Pushing in
:05:29. > :05:32.during the morning, some sharper ones during the morning, but less
:05:32. > :05:40.frequent in the afternoon. We might see the odd glimpse of sunshine in
:05:40. > :05:43.between the showers. Temperatures of eight Celsius tomorrow. An
:05:43. > :05:49.unsettled picture for the coming week. The best of the dry weather
