High-street chain BHS is set to close its 114 remaining stores in the coming weeks.

More than 11,000 employees are set to lose their jobs after the department store chain collapsed into administration in April.

The Gravesend branch of BHS in New Road is one of 30 stores set to have their last day of business on Saturday, July 30.

The closure of stores on Bromley High Street, at Bexleyheath's Broadway Shopping Centre and on Lewisham High Street will follow soon after as the chain winds down.

All stores are to be closed by August 20.

Duff & Phelps has failed to find a buyer for the business as a going concern and will now look to sell the stores off piecemeal.

The news comes on the day that a damning report into BHS's ownership under retail billionaire Sir Philip Green was released.

Sir Philip and his family pocketed £400 million in dividends during his 15-year ownership of the company, with BHS's pension scheme nursing a £571 million deficit when it fell into administration.
