It's been all change on Liverpool's high street over the past couple of years. Top Shop and Debenhams have closed down. Forever 21 failed to live up to its name, and The Gap has left, well, a gap.
But it isn't all bad news. Next moved across Church Street to the vacated Forever 21 building, and its old premises have now been taken over. French sports shop Decathlon opened a flagship store on the site at the end of April. Meanwhile, Flannels is taking over the former Tesco Metro site opposite Clayton Square. And BHS has become H&M.
Older readers will remember that the Decathlon site used to be occupied by Woolworth's and C&A, both mainstays of the British high street and now no more, while the Flannels building was home to defunct department store Owen Owen.
