Once one of Nottingham's Premier department stores.
Debenhams closed it's doors for the final time on 4th May 2021. Debenhams had entered administration in April 2019 and then went into liquidation in December 2020, after failing to secure a buyer to save the chain
The building has been empty for nearly a year, bt was recently granted listing building status.
Rather surreal are the mannequins in the windows !
Shame to see. I remember my Psychology tutor telling me in 1999, that in 20 years time, the High Street will drastically start to disappear. He's not wrong is he?
Those mannequins would make a great photo on their own! I do miss Debenhams, itās somewhere I shopped for years, even had a store card at one time! So sad to see these āinstitutionsā disappear! Though I have to confess, I always found the Nottingham one a bit higgledy piggledy, with so many levels, but sad nevertheless!
Sad to see Phil. Prestonās massive Debenhams is closed too so the shopping centre it was in has lost its heart! I havenāt been into Preston since it closedā¦I have no reason to venture there these days. I am part of the problem I expectā¦no footfall in towns!
I am still mourning the loss of Woolies, C&A and BHS. Debenhams was yet another.
