Which high Street shops do you miss the most past /present

Woollies. And all the shoe shops - Saxons, Dolcis etc etc

Exactly the same ones as you, TrendyNannie.

I remember buying lots of baby and children's stuff from BHS and Mothercare. I still have two coats I bought from C & A.

BHS, Woolworth and all the different shoe shops. Now I can buy cakes or phones or coffee from half a dozen different shops, but only Clark’s for shoes.

You're right! ?

East, BHS. Richard Shops. Poundland, Wilko et al are more than satisfactory replacements for Woolworths.

I worked at C & A when I left school I bought my wedding dress there and plenty more I really miss it. Woolies of course and shoe shops.

M0nica I’d really miss Wilko and the pound shops if they closed. TK MAXX is fun to walk round, but it’s definitely a ‘get it or regret it’ shop, because you can’t rely on seeing something you like next time you visit

BHS, Peter Robinson, Richard Shops

Mourning Laura Ashely here

Ashley!

Woolworths. I loved it.

Our local high street is now just hairdressers, nail bars and coffee bars. We don’t even have a decent restaurant - just a couple of chains. I definitely miss Woollies (we don’t have Poundland), the toy shop, the book shop, Dorothy Perkins and a choice of shoe shops as named above. I loved C n A and carried on shopping and there in Paris when we used to go for the weekend. A couple of years ago I bought my winter wardrobe in C n A in Prague.

IKEA..... can’t wait to get back in there! My DH hates it. ?

Not so much clothes shops, but I miss Habitat, The Pier, and the General Trading Company.

Really gutted that Laura Ashley has gone (don't miss their clothes) most of my house is furnished by them (most of it bought in the sale, of course!). Loved mooching in Woollies and really miss Saxone and Dolcis. Also so sorry that Karen Millen and Coast no longer have high street shops, I could always rely on them if I needed a posh outfit. I know they are online, but nothing beats trying on lots of outfits in the shop; I really don't fancy ordering numerous outfits, then finding none are suitable, then having the faff of repacking and returning it all (I am small and find it hard to get anything that fits!).

I loved the Pier too, bought some lovely things there?

Gosh yes, I'd forgotten about Clockhouse

I got a pair of black dungarees from there. Worn without a shirt underneath! What minx I was.

Also in Liverpool there was a small boutique called Bus Stop. I think. Got loads of fabulous outfits from there.

Heals. Could spend a whole day in there as a newlywed. Also Cranks and their lovely salads.

Got a down filled anorak bought in C&A in 84, been wearing it for dog walks. Excessive rates killed the store here in Nottingham

Anyone remember Snob?

Woolworth and BHS.
