New signs have been installed at Warwick's former WHSmith as the national chain is rebranded.

The new 'TGJones' logos have now been installed at Market Street after planning permission for the works was signed off by Warwick District Council earlier this year.

The change comes as WHSmith has sold its high street stores in a £76 million deal with Modella Capital - the firm which owns Hobbycraft.

The deal includes all 480 stores nationwide, including Warwick's WHSmith at Market Street.

WHSmith said the sale will mean it can focus on the travel arm of the business.

The new signs were installed in Warwick last week.
