17 photos to take you back to trips to Knight and Lee in Southsea

KNIGHT & Lee was one of the most iconic shops in the city for decades.

The Southsea department store, which closed its doors for the final time in the summer of 2019, was a part of the fabric of the city for more than 100 years.

Founded in the 19th century, it experienced a lot during its life time including being bombed during the Second World War and being bought by John Lewis.
