People used to come to St Annes from miles around but sadly it lost it's way a bit over recent years. Council have spent a small fortune trying to do the place up with fancy lights and flowers but they need to lower the rates and be a bit more creative in promoting itself. | ![](/images/avatars/15430.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It is a blow. It was JRs that gave the town centre a semblance of 'poshness'. But it seems they cannot trade profitably in the internet age. I can remember buying a shirt there 30+ years ago and being served by a very nice young shop assistant. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Perhaps someone like Primark are more suited to the St Annes public of today and are waiting to take over the site? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It didn't, or couldn't move with the times, and they really have to these days. Shame though, something really nostalgic about department stores. | ![](/images/avatars/16750.gif) |
