HMV in Peascod Street - Windsor

Music and retail chain HMV has announced it has appointed an administrator putting its store in Peascod Street Windsor at risk.

The entertainment store which was started in 1921, is the latest retail casualty after camera retailer Jessops and electronics firm Comet.

The news has put about 4,350 jobs at risk.

Deloitte LLP will keep HMV's 239 stores in the UK and Ireland, while it looks at the business and looks for potential buyers.
