'End of an era' as doors close at former Birmingham Rackhams store

After a turbulent few years for the brand, Birmingham's House of Fraser store closes for the last time.

For 4 years, while at college, I caught the bus outside Rackhams. Each December the passengers eagerly discussed the anticipated Christmas window display. Wondering what magic was being created behind the whitened out windows.
 
ive been banging on since they started building the metro lines that the city centre will end up like a ghost town..the loss of so many shops has not helped plus as lloyd points out its now inaccessible to some people...its all geared up now for the young and fit..very sad and totally unfair that its now spot the OAP

Traditional shopping area have become recreational: rather akin to a tourist attraction. Out-of-town venues have taken their place with lots of parking facilities available which suit those who are younger and are usually more mobile. Smaller towns, who have a more discerning view of things, fair must better, but they the exception to the rule as they say.
