An established Maryport business will close its doors next weekend.
Clark Timber, on Wood Street, was a family timber yard for 25 years.
It was sold to a buyer from out of the town in recent years and it is understood it will close next Thursday or Friday.
The owner declined to comment on the closure but customers have been told that the yard would close next weekend. Most of its stock is being sold through online auction website eBay.
Before the business was sold it was run by Frank Clark and his brother, the late David Clark.
