Due to the recession, one in eight shops now stand empty as recession hits high streets.
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.Quote:

Now that Rapid Hardware has moved to Williamson Square (and good luck to them, onto bigger and better things), there are empty units the whole length of Renshaw Street.
Whilst I'm sorry to see the current state of Renshaw Street, I'm very pleased to see a local business doing the trade it is.
