I wonder what it looks like today... I went by in September 2017 and noticed new signals up, but yet to be activated. It looked sad to see those signals serve their final day's/weeks. They'd been in service since sometime in the 1980's.
This is a odd place to eat your Subway.

I felt like starting a "!" Chain.

Signs for stores that don't exist no more!

Burnt out restaurant?

What the...

My guess is that they are the new signals.
Anyway.
Currys closed around late-2014 mainly due to the new experiment of putting Currys and PC World into one store.
Comet closed in late-2012 when they went into administration.
Dreams closed in 2013 for an unknown reason
B&Q closed in 2017 when they moved to a bigger store. All of this was part of a new retail park redevelopment project.
All of those stores were demolished in 2016, B&Q may have also gone down with them too.
These retail unit's were not so lucky.
This store closed in 2009, and was bought out by Sports Direct 3 years later.

The rest just maybe closed in 2009.

But overall, it is nice to see new investment, and modernization.
Dead LED.

Why do you think it's weird? I think it's unique...

Happened quite a bit when they were initially taking the pictures 10 years ago.

Those could also be nighttime shots as well.
