If you have managed to capture any of Liverpool's shop/ business fronts boarded up and closed down, post them here!

Will do Kev, good idea.

I have noticed a lot have gone.

Its not the recession thats hit the closures,its there's far too many new ones opening up.

If Liverpool One had not opened, it would be one in twenty

Agree with you on this = St John's Precinct and Clayton Square are half empty.

The biggest killer to high street shop closures was the opening of these retail parks on the outskirts of the city,this prime land could have been used for new housing and then the larger shops in the city centers would have been active all the time.
