Heh, "...an A4 notice of closure (with few details) on the door, the absence of staff, and unopened post on the floor,.." looks pretty conclusive to me. I surveyed my local branch and found similar so have changed it to disused. I like the method of flipping shop, name, brand with a 'disused:'

It's unclear to me if there's a consensus on the tagging here. Personally I like the `disused:` prefix. I couldn't see if it was mentioned anywhere, but we can also query for all the locations explicitly marked as part of the Thomas Cook brand using the `brand:wikidata` tag:
