That’s a shame, but it’s probably the future. High Streets (as we knew them) will one day go extinct! 😮 I’ve heard the council where I live is already thinking of turning one big empty shop space into flats.

That’s the problem really… when you can’t find what you want on the high street. Also where I live there is a fairly new out-of-town retail park which has diverted the shoppers and caused some big names to pull out of the high street.

Kind of sad to see high streets going this way 🙁 I have to admit that it’s mostly Amazon and other online places that I buy stuff that can’t be bought in a local supermarket/local small shops though so I’m guilty of letting it happen, but only because there’s no other shops sellling stuff anymore. :/

I didn’t actually see it on TV, but I found the book in a charity shop and thought it looked interesting as I like social history 🙂
Yes, I suppose department stores are on their way out generally, now that the internet is like one big department store. There isn’t one in my town either, in fact a lot of shops are shut in my town now and the high street is mainly where people can bet, buy vapes, fast food or discount toiletries!

Thanks! 😀
