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

[OneUmberJoker]

Woolworths
Blockbusters

Austicks book shops, Peter Maturi kitchen stuff. I could spend a fortune in either.

I like Dillon's the book shop as well, it had an amazing spiral staircase. Oh, and Ainsley's bakeries were far better than Greggs or Coopland.

Tammy Girl and ClockHouse in C&A. Not that I'd be able to shop in them now as I'm no longer young.

Tchibo. I make a beeline when I see one on trips to Europe since they closed over here. C&A are all over Europe too

Paperchase.

I bought my Christmas decorations in The Pier closing down sale. They’re still beautiful 18 years later

The Body Shop

by which I mean the original Anita Roddick Body Shop, where you could buy bottles of shampoo and shower gel in different sizes and get refills.

Thinking of Lush, I miss its predecessor, Cosmetics To Go.

Woolies
BhS
C&A

I'm going to Germany and Austria next year and will go to Woolies and C&A there!!!

Get a couple of bags for life for presents for friends.

A bit niche - Bagel Nation on Colemore Row in Birmingham. Was right by my bus top as a teenager.

Debenhams
BHS
Top Shop
C&A
Woolworths

Anyone missing wilko need to go Uxbridge I went there a few weeks ago and they have one.

Not a chain but Neal Street East in Covent Garden… full of lovely homewares and curios - there was nowhere else quite like it.

Also Johnny Rockets… an American style diner in Soho.

Anyone missing a monsoon - we still have one in Bath and I spied a wilcos when in Exeter last year

I’m amazed, I didn’t know that thanks

Borders at Lakeside and Dillons in Cambridge are two I miss.

I also miss Spud u Like in food courts and there were two amazing cafes in Cambridge a long time ago - Steps which did a tremendous lasagne, and Oasis which was a cheap and cheerful Mediterranean cafe

In Liverpool, Owen Owen and Lewis's (not to be confused with John Lewis). Lewis's for the restaurant and food hall. Owen Owen for the amazing grotto at Christmas.

The Pier
Jenners (Christmas isn’t Christmas without that tree)

The Pier

@OneUmberJoker another one?

woolies.

Topshop (specifically Topshop Oxford Circus).

Woolworths because it sold everything! If I ever need something like insoles/hemming web I always think Woolworths would have it.

BHS for bedding and Christmas presents although Dunelm has kind of filled that spot for me.

Dolcis. Got a cracking pair of black suede, knee high, platform boots a la Baby Spice from there. I loved them. Wore them until they were beyond repair.

Neal Street East. Sometimes I’m very lucky and have a dream about finding it has reopened somewhere random

The Pier. I loved it for pieces of furniture, lamps and other lovely household things.
