THESE are some of the stores that once lined our high streets - often the destination for many an eager shopper.

Plenty of us have happy memories of these places - whether it was cutting through Owen Owen, carefully choosing a pick-and-mix at Woolworth or checking out the sports gear in Plummers.

Included are images not just in and around the city centre, but from Shirley, Bitterne, Portswood and Woolston.

Some of the shops pictured may be slightly off the beaten track of the high street, but they'll no doubt spark memories of times spent there.

Which others do you remember? Feel free to discuss in the comments below.
