When asked which fashion stores we miss from our high street from back in the day C&A would be up on the list.
The name C&A stands for Clements and August, the two Brenninkmeyer brothers from the Netherlands who started the firm and brought it to Britain in 1922.

The store was popular for many years until it finally closed in 2001.
