HMV will move into the site vacated by Mothercare earlier this year.

The retailer previously had a store in Commercial Road but that shut in June 2014, more than five years ago.

On its careers website, HMV is recruiting Christmas temp jobs to work at the store.

The deadline for application is November 1 and the roles will include 20 hours a week.

Canadian firm Sunrise Records rescued HMV in February after the company had collapsed into administration in December 2018.

The News has approached HMV for comment on whether the new Commercial Road store will be a permanent addition to the high street or a temporary one – as only season roles are being advertised – they have not yet responded.
