REMEMBER Bealesons? Borders? John Menzies? Bobby’s? Or when Bournemouth had a Woolworths?
The Daily Echo’s photographic archive contains plenty of pictures of shops (and even a few restaurants) whose names have disappeared from the town.
We're taking a look back at some of the retailers of yesteryear.
As well as those mentioned above, you’ll find the likes of C&A, Dolcis, Peter Lord, Bebbington’s Wrought Iron Centre and a whole shopping precinct that has since been demolished – the Criterion Arcade.
