This shop unit was originally the site of David Waring Cameras. In the 1990s this shop was a branch of Crewe Camera Exchange. This chain was acquired by Jessops in the late 1990s. At the time Jessops were expanding rapidly through acquisitions and also acquired the City Camera Exchange group which was located in the south-east of England.
In January 2013 this store along with the rest of the Jessops chain closed SO8554 : Jessops, Worcester (Some branches did re-open some weeks later)

The Jessops Group Ltd
Jessop's were formed in Leicester in 1935 by Frank Jessop.
They were once the largest specialist supplier of photographic equipment in the UK. At their peak they had 335 stores. In 2007 the company suffered financial crisis, due to increased competition from supermarkets and internet retailers, and had to close some stores.
In January 2013 the company went into administration and its 187 remaining stores across the UK closed on January 11th with the loss of 1,370 jobs.
The brand was bought by entrepreneur Peter Jones and relaunched on 28 March 2013. Up to 30 stores are expected to re-open.
