An independent record store in Helston is closing tomorrow after opening in the town six and a half years ago.

Flipside began in Coinage Ope before relocating to Coinagehall Street.

Owner Niki Groves said: "It's sad. I don't want to let Flipside go but I have to, unfortunately. I've been a long time fighting, but I've put my hands up."

She said that the shop had received a lot of support, with lot of people becoming regular customers, but the younger generations did not appear to buy CDs and the costs of running the shop were just too high.

It is thought that a pottery shop will move into the empty store.
