Chesterfield BHS to close this weekend
Almost 50 branches of the retailer have already closed this month, with a further 30 to close on Saturday.
The move marks another grim milestone in the demise of BHS , which was controversially sold by tycoon Sir Philip Green for £1 last year.

Appointed administrators Duff & Phelps said all 163 BHS stores, including 16 in Scotland, would close or be sold off to other retailers.
Many of those have closed their doors for the last time this weekend.
Now up to 11,000 workers face the axe if no buyers for the others stores are found, although Sir Philip has offered jobs to around 1,000 staff in his other high street chains.
