Retail Deconsecration - 12 February 2017

Retail Deconsecration - 12 February 2017
Of my title, make what you will. The photographs in my 'Consumer and Retail History' album aim to provide a partial history of changes in, largely, the UK. The social commentary is as much as in the picture as in the text which tries to be, primarily, factual.

In the shadow of Truro Cathedral, stands the former BHS (18-20 Boscawen Street) which is currently being refitted to become a Wilko. This provides some sort of commentary on the streets of our towns today not to say the state of the retail sector. Only a few doors away, the former Austin Reed is to become a Carluccio's. Apart from the obvious change of use, that is more difficult to analyse.
