Liverpool’s city centre is constantly changing as we say goodbye to beloved shops and welcome new favourites.
Iconic Scouse stores like Quiggins and George Henry Lee's have been consigned to history, along with high street brands like Woolworths and Debenhams.
Despite some of the most popular stores closing many years ago, they still bring back fond memories for a lot of us - from Christmas shopping in Lewis’s to picking out a film at Blockbuster.
We’ve scoured the archives for much-loved stores from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s to jog your memories, as well as shops from much further back in the city’s history.
Which is your favourite forgotten shop of Liverpool’s past? Do you think our shops are better today or are you still nostalgic for yesteryear?
Have a look and let us know what you can remember.
17. Henderson’s
Henderson’s opened in 1924 and was a really luxurious store, visited for special occasions. It set a blaze in June 1960 as 11 people lost their lives and the building destroyed. It was rebuilt and reopened in 1962, and was rebranded in 1975 but closed for good in 1983. | Image: House of Fraser Archive
18. C&A
Much-loved fashion giant C&A - known affectionately as ‘Coats and Ats’ to shoppers - stood tall as a go to destination for bargain-hunters for decades. The Church Street store closed in 2000. | Image: YPN

Bunney's General Store on Church Street sold the likes of toys, hardwares, homewares and fancy china. Popular in the 1890s, the store ran until around 1950. | Image: English Heritage/Heritage Images/Getty Images
