I take a nostalgic journey through 20 high street stores that once made British town centres feel alive, from the pick'n'mix counter at Woolworths to the grand Art Deco shops of Burton.
I revisit the stories of Freeman, Hardy and Willis, Athena, Tandy, Dixons, Rumbelows, Kwik Save, Timothy Whites, Toys R Us, Comet, Chelsea Girl, Mothercare, C&A, House of Fraser, WH Smith, Littlewoods, British Home Stores, Debenhams and Marks and Spencer. I also explore how out-of-town retail parks, changing shopping habits, rising costs and the internet transformed the British high street.
These were more than places to buy shoes, toys, clothes or household goods. They were where families met, children spent their pocket money and whole towns built memories. I look back at what made them special, and why so many eventually disappeared.
