STAFF at a Kidderminster shop marked the company's 75th anniversary by donning "through the ages" fancy dress and enjoying an in-store party, complete with birthday cake.

There were also free balloons, sweets and colouring competitions for youngsters at the Wilkinson store in Market Street on Monday.

"For the team here at Kidderminster, it was about recognising the fact that Wilkinson has been selling quality products for the past 75 years and thanking our shoppers for their years of loyal support," said store manager, Anthony Rhodes.

The home and garden products business was started in Leicester in 1930 and the Kidderminster store opened in 1994.
