Join me on a nostalgic countdown of 12 beloved British high street stores that disappeared, from Blockbuster and Our Price to Woolworths.
I look at how these shops began, the prices people paid, the memories they created and the real reasons they eventually closed. Along the way, I revisit MFI, Comet, Littlewoods, Virgin Megastores, Maplin, Toys R Us, Wilco, BHS and C&A.
I also uncover the remarkable story of Woolworths' final pick and mix bag, which sold at auction for £14,500, and ask whether any of these much-missed names could truly return.
