I've been in Meadowhall Shopping Centre (outskirts of Sheffield near to Rotherham and M1) today and realised the GW store has gone from the mall there too.
A bit of research found this post on a local gamers blog that suggests it actually closed on Saturday 2nd February.
I'm not sure what business they did ( I imagine a fair bit around Xmas) but when going past it always seemed to be busy. Much smaller than Sheffield though so I imagine it had to go

Goodbye GW Meadowhall
Well, after 20-something years Games Workshop at Meadowhall closed it's doors for the final time last weekend. I can't claim to have visited the shop religiously but I did used to go regularly when it first opened, as my interest in the hobby waned I went in sporadically, usually as a way to avoid wandering around Meadowhall while my wife was shopping. Then my eldest picked up the war gaming baton, re-igniting my need for Grim Darkness and I've been in every Sunday since July. Straight away I discovered a new found respect for the store. I'd always found GW staff to be quite pushy and had a tendency to perch on your shoulder while you're just casually browsing, but Meadowhall seemed different, really casual and laid back, completely different to the other GW's I'd been in over the last few years.
