Audio slideshow: The last Lewis's

The tills have rung up for the last time in Liverpool's landmark store - Lewis's - after more than 150 years. The last shop to have been trading under the Lewis's name, it shut at the end of May, earlier than planned.

Take a nostalgic look back to the department store's heyday, when business was booming and customers could shop, eat and get a haircut - all under one roof.
