Had a great visit to Leamington today!
The former Maplin store in #Nuneaton.
This has been a pub ('Peacock Inn'), a Topshop / Topman store, a Burton menswear store, and Maplin.
Once it closed as Maplin, the Loungers' Piero Lounge opened here in November 2019.
The original sign for the Peacock Inn has also since been uncovered!

Ryman in Castle Street, Hinckley.
As far as I've been able to find from my research, around 1904, this was a shop called Harrisons.
Since then, it has been a fruit and veg shop - and before it sold stationery, it was a Dixons store in the 80s!
The shopfront was recently updated.

Another former Frankie & Benny's restaurant! This was their restaurant in Coventry's Cross Point.
They also had two other locations in Coventry that are long-term closed.
This particular location has been converted into a Taco Bell, which opened its doors last June. #fastfood

Lidl's former store on Hawley Road in #Hinckley. This closed in 2019 to allow them to move to a newer store on Coventry Road.

Another retail post, still related to the Highcross Shopping Centre! Did you know? Treetop Adventure Golf has occupied the former Rackhams / House of Fraser store since June 2019.
Additionally, when House of Fraser closed in 2017, it allowed for several additional units to be created! #Leicester
