Shops you no longer see

What ever happened to some of the shops you used to see on most High Streets that have now vanished?

A couple to kick off with:

The Golden Egg
Timothy Whites
Kennedys (South London only).

Anyone remember any others that have now been swallowed up, or just gone out of business (Woolies not included)?

Crystal Palace Club Shop??

That must be the only one. 99% of them have gone. One in Long Lane, one in Blackfen and Northumberland Heath have all bitten the dust.
