They take you back to the days when the city centre boasted numerous department stores, including Cole Brothers, Walsh’s, Pauldens and Peter Robinson.
Other popular shops pictured in this retro photo gallery include Woolworths, which was famed for its pick and mix, Dolcis and Saxone shoe stores, and the major fashion chain Etam.

How many of these shops do you remember visiting, and which 70s stores do you miss most?
