C&A

Iconic British Shops that are no longer on our High Streets.

From buying your pick and mix in Woolworths to renting a video at Blockbuster, many of us often look back with nostalgia at visiting the high street as it was.

 

Sadly, here are but a few no longer with us......

 

C&A closed all of its 113 stores in the UK in 2000 and 2001, resulting in the loss of 4,800 jobs. The closures were a result of difficult business conditions and increased competition in the UK clothing market, leading to significant financial losses for the company. While C&A continues to operate in other European countries, the UK market proved too challenging. The last two C&A stores in the UK closed in 2001, in Hounslow and Bradford
