After peaking in their Victorian heyday, many of these once great emporiums of commerce have struggled to adapt to the rise of online shopping, while changing drinking habits have seen the last round called at thousands of pubs.
Officials across the country are increasingly turning to housing to fill up empty retail units, with the government set to relax planning laws to make shop conversions easier.

In the Surrey town of Weybridge in the borough of Elmbridge, there is anger, suspicion and no little nervousness. A mystery tree-feller, who has in recent weeks taken a chainsaw to trees in the area under cover of darkness, has returned to launch another destructive spree.
âThis person is playing a game with us,â said Cameron Flynn, 21, who set up the Facebook group Elmbridge Tree Patrol, which has logged almost 50 incidents of trees being felled, their branches left strewn across roads, paths and in the river.
Yet, despite late-night patrols and hours spent trawling CCTV footage and using number plate recognition technology, police are still no nearer to identifying the perpetrator or perpetrators. âWe have followed up on a number of leads given by the community, but still there are insufficient grounds to identify a suspect,â Surrey police said in a statement.
