From department stores such as Schofields and Lewis’s to punk clothing stores like X, Leeds streets was littered with stores that today are but a memory.
We asked Yorkshire Evening Post’s readers on social media to let us know which lost store they would bring back, and here are 11 of the most popular suggestions:
7. Debenhams
Debenhams is one of the most recent stores to leave us, but many readers expressed their wish for it to reopen on Briggate. | Google Photo: Google

Marshall & Snelgrove at the junction of Bond Street and Park Row was a Leeds staple for just over 100 years before closing in 1971, and many readers wish they could bring it back. | jpimedia Photo: jpimedia
