I remember back in the seventies and eighties this town was thriving with all the big name stores, Thomas cook, British home stores, marks and Spencer, little woods, cooks, beatties, top shop, Dixons, Richard shops, it was great what happened? So sad.

Grew up here in the 90s and early 2000s. It's certainly looks way less lively now than it did back then.

It has changed so much. Internet has changed the atmosphere of our high streets.

What happened? Why the change?
@billdoor31408 ай бұрын
@jcwoodstl they built a shopping centre (merry hill) around 3 miles outside the town center. So most big stores moved from the town centre to that place. Then another one of those big square retail park things with cinema, restaurants, bowling etc about a mile outside the town center. Then when all the decent shops had gone replaced them with about 40 junk food/kebab shops. That imo are money laundering. NON of them serve good food and non of them are busy. (Google Dudley town takeaway fined for hygiene) now online shopping has also took over merry hill.

@@billdoor3140 Yeah Merry Hill was built and opened in the mid-80s. I was at college 86-88 there and it was all the buzz. The town centre started to go down rapidly then and with it having so much free parking as well. Killed Dudley town centre.
