These famous names together boasted several thousand stores across the UK at their peak.
While those shops may be gone, their legacy is not forgotten.
Some of these businesses still trade online, while others have vanished completely, but they are the brands Britons are keenest to see return to the high street.
Liquidation Centre has analysed search data to determine the brands consumers most want to make a comeback.
Debenhams tops the list, with a monthly average of 415,000 online searches, while the other most-missed brands include Woolworths, Dorothy Perkins, BHS and Toys R Us.
Below are the lost shops UK consumers would most like to see reopen, with pictures showing them as we remember them, from the 1960s to the noughties.

11. Toys R Us
Toys R Us closed its UK stores after entering administration in 2018. It was hugely popular during the 90s and early noughties, and many of us can still remember the infectious jingle from the adverts, featuring Geoffrey the Giraffe. It has been named as sixth on the list of brands Britons most want to see back on the high street. | Getty Images Photo: Brian Rasic
