I was watching The Mad Death last night. A 1980s mini series about an outbreak of rabies in Scotland. There was a cracking scene where a rabid German Shepherd got into a shopping centre. The chief vet and an army sniper were driving a Landy through the mall in pursuit of the dog. What I also enjoyed was seeing all the old stores and realising how many have gone under since. They drove past Stead & Simpson, Saxone, Hepworths, Fine Fare, Fosters, John Menzies and more. There was also a lady carrying a Presto carrier bag. What shops do you remember from your youth that are no longer with us?

Selby's Tesco will always be Hillards to me.

There was a big Hillards in York , I used to roller skate round the empty car park every Sunday morning
It's a Coop now and I think they've sold off half of the carpark for flats.
