These businesses form integral parts of our lives - we hold many memories of browsing through department stores, perhaps with our parents, or buying our first vinyl or CD with our own money.

Blockbuster
The American company, which began as a home video rental shop and expanded to a multi-national chain offering video game rentals, DVD-by-mail, streaming, video on demand and more, announced nationwide closure in 2013 after it entered administration.
The Whitchurch site in Brownlow Street was one of the first in Shropshire to go - and was followed by outlets in Shrewsbury and Telford.
The Shrewsbury location, in Meole Brace Retail Park, became a state-of-the-art M&S.
Maddox
This department store, on the corner of High Street and Pride Hill in Shrewsbury, was frequented plenty by people across the town - and the county.
It was said to have opened in 1862 and for more than a century, it was one of the finest stores around.
Customers were able to pick up anything they wanted and needed here.
After a number of years, it was taken over by Owen Owen in 1975.
The building, after Owen Owen entered administration in 2007, has since been home to several different retailers.
