Which stores do you miss?

I think Woolworths too.

I used to like C & A clock house label clothes.
I have a nice crochet dress from there, which is too tight.
Like a 6lb of sprouts in a 1lb net bag, when I last tried it on.

C&A and Littlewoods.
Our nearest Littlewoods was in Lincoln, over 30 miles away, so we didn`t get there very often, but when we did, we`d wait like little kids for the Happy Hour announcement, which meant 10% off in that hour, loved it!

Bourne and Hollingsworth in Oxford Street. East and Country Casuals - the original ones not the ones taking over the name.
So many more that we are going to be missing before long.

BHS was a very useful shop

Another one who misses Woolworths but I find Home Bargains to be a good substitute.

Oh yes, of course, Edinburgh Crystal. Doh!

SueDonim Thistle pattern was an Edinburgh Crystal one. I spent one vacation as second assistant in the Edinburgh Crystal department. I've never dusted and polished so much in my life!

I miss the original Laura Ashley shops in London, Oxford and Bath.
Beautiful cotton dresses and material. I doubt if I would suit the designs now.

Jane10 what a fab job that must have been! I always hankered for the china they sold in Jenners. I do still have some Stewart Crystal glasses in their Thistle design. It’s quite valuable now!

For me, Jenners started going downhill when they replaced the real Christmas tree with an artificial one.

Today, I miss Laura Ashley, though I am hearing news that it may be relaunched via Next shops.

C&A, Woolworths, also Watt Bros and Lewis' in Glasgow.

Years ago I spotted a Woolworth store in Malta and was so disappointed to find that it was nothing like the Woolies of my youth.

It's got to be Jenners for me. Happy days working in the China dept many years ago.

We used to like 'Ethel Austin'.

Woolworths for me.

In Brighton a department tore called Hanningtons. It was an independent family run business with up market stuff. I used to love it!

Go back years and loads of department stores have disappeared in Brighton and Hove.

I loved 'Woollies' as a child - even worked there during my school holidays. I can still smell the wooden floorboards! Loved C&A for budget clothes.
