The world's oldest sports shop which has been trading for 135 years is closing after falling victim to the pressure from online shopping and larger retailers.

Knowles Sports opened its doors in 1884 selling horse saddles and tennis rackets.

Since then it became one of the most well-known family-run businesses in Worcester.

Knowles is believed to be the world's oldest sports shop - beating Whites in Warrington which has been trading for 113 years.
