One wag wondered if B&M Bargains will be selling tumbleweed soon; suffice to say Ormskirk was very quiet today with just a handful of shoppers spotted at lunch time.
QLocal's Roger Blaxall - on his way to the Post Office (shut! that wouldn't have happened if it hadn't re-located to WH Smith...) took these eerie photos.
More local reports tomorrow on how various businesses are coping.
