Casino Gaming did not endure to 2025 but had been replaced by something of a similar ilk, Merkur Slots; Super Pound Store was still going; Fultons Foods has also not lasted.

Woolworths Wakefield
Woolworths, 45 Kirkgate. A rather grand previous store,http://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/WakefieldCMS/Pages/TAandC/ImageView.aspx?source=l05739&thumbnail=False
was replaced by this modern featureless building in 1956. The administrators of the 99yr old company are slashing prices to generate cash for creditors and offload unsold stock, hence the 50% off notices in the windows.
