The Bristol high street has changed dramatically through the years.
The responses ranged from independent record stores to big-name department stores.
Here are 15 great stores we loved and miss dearly.
1. Revolver Records
The long established record store was based at The Triangle, Clifton, and in the 70s was a hangout of Mark Stewart, Nick Sheppard and other local musicians. Massive Attack's Daddy G worked at the store and would often be on the turntables, adding to the its legendary status. It closed down in 2000. | Andy Hebden via Flickr
2. Tony's Records
The record store first opened at Princess Victoria Street before moving to Park Street. It closed down in 1996 due to falling interest and falling trade. | Google Maps
3. Beattie's Model Shop
Located on Penn Street, near Castle Park, the popular model chain sold a wide range of hobbyist products, including model kits, model railways, die-cast models, radio controlled vehicles and other hobby supplies. It closed down in 2001. | Google Maps
4. Paradise Garage
Located on the ground floor of Haymarket Walk, Paradise Garage was a popular shop for punks and goths to buy their clothes, shoes and jewellery. | Greg Embery via Bristol Archive Records
