TF2422 : Beale's Department Store

taken 4 years ago, near to Spalding, Lincolnshire, England

Beale's Department Store
Beale's Department Store
One of two department stores in Spalding. The Beales group has stores all over the UK, and is struggling with the normal high street woes.
Town centres in 2008-2023

Town centres in the UK are constantly evolving, many shops come and go and many well known names are disappearing from the high street altogether. These images, I hope, will act as a historic record of how tough times have been and who came and went and who thrived.

More recent images could also reflect the impact of the post Brexit vote (June 2016) along with images that may also be showing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which started to be visible in town centre trading from about June 2020 onwards. In the early months of the pandemic businesses were forced to close during the government 'lockdown' which was announced 23 March 2020 and came into effect on 26 March 2020. Not all subsequently reopened.
