A well-known charity is reopening its city centre branch five months later than orginally planned, replacing a menswear retailer.
Oxfam is opening at 1-2 The Broadway, St Peters Street with a new-look store - finally completing the move from its previous home on Chequer Street.
The unit formerly hosted high-end menswear shop, Moss Bros., which closed earlier this year.
Despite a lack of Oxfam branding in the signage - it is still Moss Bros. - Oxfam items and decorations can be seen through the shop window.
A sign on the door reads: "OPEN FRIDAY, CHRISTMAS IS COMING" - suggesting the store will be launching November 22.
The store is stocking plenty of festive items with stockings and other Christmas-themed nick knacks on display.

When its original city centre location shut in July, a spokesperson for Oxfam said: "Our shop that was previously in Chequer Street will be opening soon in its new location.
"The bigger space will enable us to display more wonderful preloved items to help us raise valuable funds to support Oxfam’s work tackling poverty and inequality around the world.
“We are looking forward to welcoming our customers back to our new space and will have more details on the opening date soon.”
Five months on from its promised reopening date, the shop will be hitting the high street.
The charity now owns three branches across the city including a book store on Catherine Street and another shop on Hatfield Road.
