A Frinton charity shop is closing down next month... on the exact same day another charity shop will shut in the town.

The Sue Ryder charity shop, in Connaught Avenue, is shutting its doors for the final time on December 14. 

Due to the size of the shop it has a wide variety of stock from clothes and bric-a-brac to books and music.
