Whether it be changing shopping habits or economic climate, these shops have disappeared from Blackpool’s high streets. Some had been there for years, such as Baubles Jewellers whilst others made a brief impact. Remember WH Smith and Adams children’s wear? And even further back was Selby’s and Laura Lynn. And we can’t forget Lewis’s and Woolworths - especially pick and mix. See if you remember them…
