Name a closed shop you still haven't gotten over closing?

[OneUmberJoker]

Woolworths
Blockbusters

Oh and Barratts shoe shop. Similar to Dolcis.

Oh... in Edinburgh: Jenner's. Edit: pre House of Fraser takeover.

Laura Ashley (physical shop)
Jane Norman
Debenhams

There’s some ‘Gap’ in the Next in the Trafford centre, but nothing like the choice there was back in the day

Definitely Woolworths, Blockbusters and Wilko's. Debenhams too for work stuff.

Beatties/House of Fraser
BHS - but only for the lighting department
Culpepper
Holland and Barrett as it used to be. My local one used to have a vegetarian cafe upstairs (1980s).

Habitat

Past Times and Thorntons toffee in actual Thorntons shops

Oh god Mothercare!

It was still hanging on when i had youngest DD (11) but when 1st grand daughter arrived 2 years ago i kept almost saying to eldest DD (29!) let's go to Mothercare and look' and then remembering it was gone 😞

Jenner's! I miss that. There was nothing quite like afternoon tea at Jenner's.

I realky miss Borders, and the coffee shop.

where do people get their baby stuff now there’s no Mothercare?

Boodle-Ams in Leeds
The Pier
old Habitat
Wilkos
Internationale
BHS
old Woollies
Past Times

Oh and generically browsing cds in racks in music shops

Past Times, Debenhams, and showing my age here, The Needlewoman Shop on Regents Street

Ravel shoes. The Pier. Wilko.

Debenhams. It’s shite now it’s online

Also our local Chinese chippy. I’ve never found gravy to match it.

I am sure I recently heard that Gap is coming back to the High Street.
Mine are Freeman and Hardy Willis- There were great for cheap but comfortable work shoes.
Woolworths.

Woolworths and more niche, a shoe shop, called Grants, which had a branch on Walworth Road, decades ago now, and sold the most wonderful shoes. Oh, and Kennedy's, a chain in SE London of delicatessen/ butchers.

Boots sells Mothercare branded products.
Or they go to the baby section at Smyths.
A branch of M+S I went in had a Mamas and Papas concession.

You can still do that at HMV.

Agreed!

Boswells in Oxford. A proper independent department store, especially good for linens, cookware and toys. I visited Oxford earlier this year and was dismayed to find it was gone.

A suburb of Bristol had Miltons, selling everything a child wanted, books, toys, stationery, art and craft supplies. I took DS to Bristol when he was about 10, promising new Lego and it had gone. I nearly cried, it was my favourite shop as a child, the place to spend my pocket money.

Also Woolworths and BHS. I still have two BHS nighties, no idea what I will do when they wear out.

Jane Norman.Loved their bandage dresses.

Past Times
Culpepper
WHSmith
Paperchase

And my local John Lewis 😭
