On 26th November 2009, my favourite store Borders went into administration and is now closing down. Seeing all the tributes to Woolworths when that closed down last year, I decided to make my own featuring my last visit to the UK Borders store in Cheshire Oaks before it closed down.

Borders was always a great place to read a book and have a Starbucks Coffee, since I went there every Sunday I am very sad to see it close down. :(

UPDATE - Borders USA have announced that they have entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 228 of their stores have already closed, and it has been recently announced that the remaining 399 stores are to be closed down by September.

Coincidentally, 24 hours later, Borders Australia, along with Angus & Robertson, have been placed into voluntary administration. All Borders stores in Australia have now closed down.

Also, even though I didn't make a tribute to it, goodbye Woolworths too. :(
