Some of Staines's older shop buildings
W H Smith and Debenhams (formerly Kennards) are little changed externally from when I was a child growing up in Staines in the 60s and 70s, unlike many of the shops in this town.

Woolworths shop front in Staines - sadly without the merchandise inside
Woolworths has long since ceased trading, but in Staines the formidable shop building still has the sign to remind us of what is no more.

Debenhams at Staines
Debenhams Store at Staines upon Thames. It is the largest retail outlet in the town with a floor area of 133,367 square feet (2.6 acres) over four floors. The history of this store started c1840 when Robert Morford opened a drapers store near the bottom of the High Street. By the 1880s it had developed into a department store named Morford & Goodman. During the Second World War it was taken over by Kennards, and smaller units in Thames Street were used to enlarge the business.
In 1956 Kennards demolished all the small units which made up its store, plus a few other adjacent buildings, and in their place constructed a
purpose-built department store. In 1973 Kennards store at Staines became Debenhams. When initially built the store consisted of three floors and since an extra floor has been added.
