WOW! We'd almost forgotten about some of these!
These are some of the hundreds of stores that once lined our streets and were the destination for many of us looking to shop.
Although most have disappeared, a few of the stores pictured are still trading - even after all these years later!
All of the images were snapped in Hampshire in the 1970s.
Some of the shops pictured are in complexes, some on high streets and others slightly off the beaten track.
But wherever they were taken, they'll no doubt spark memories of times spent perusing the shelves.
Which others do you remember? Let us know in the comments below.
