There are always fewer shoppers than traders would like, and too many empty shops and charity shops.
This row contained a general and sweet shop (note the Oxo advertisement in the window), with another general store and a teashop at the far end.
The shop of J Singleton, where you could shop and also acquire a haircut, is no longer a general-purpose shop.
A bustling and lively shopping street but not yet choked with motor traffic.
One of the interesting things when looking at some of these photographs is the number of shops that even the smallest of villages seemed to have.
The main street and good shopping centre is made more pleasant by the Victorian glass arcade, useful in wet weather.
When we compare this photograph with 54230, we see that since 1906, R & H Law have expanded to occupy all the top four shops on the right, and had become a large furniture and upholstery shop.
During the Edwardian era Coney Street was the place for fashionable shopping.
It included many shops - a butcher's, a grocer's, a milliner's, a shoe shop and a furniture shop.
The scene has changed remarkably little over the years, apart from what is sold in the shops.
No 39 High Street was Clemoes, a women's wear shop, now a pizza parlour.
Many of the shops you see in this picture have changed hands.
This shop frontage shows the development of the village shop into the mini-supermarket, ultra-modern for its time.
With increases in both population and numbers of visitors to the town, provision had to be made for their shopping requirements.
A major redevelopment in 1870 brought many new shops and arcades to the thoroughfare.
The card shop and Susan Starr are now occupied by Abbey and Martyn James (butcher`s), whilst Bond & Sherwill and Stead & Simpson maintain the presence of an estate agent and a shoe shop.
On the left, Parnell's shop is now the Ideal Shop, still selling newspapers.
The Rows are a unique feature to Chester; they provide shops on two levels, the roofs of the shops at street level forming a pedestrian walkway for the shops on the second level.
In this view the Freeman Hardy & Willis shop stands on the site of the Old Talbot, and two shops along is where the Golden Lion was situated.
It is the furthest away of these three shops (on the corner) which is the Post Office.
For five hundred years commerce has surrounded this area with ironmongers, shoemakers and fish and meat shops.
The first shop on the left is the newsagent, and next to it is the Co-op.
Just past the Midland Bank, looking north west, the elegant late Victorian shops on the left survive, although W H Smith has now moved on.
Union Street is now pedestrianised; this view shows some of the modern shop fronts installed by 1955 which replaced the much better Victorian ones.
