On the reverse side of businesses/shops closing down, I was thinking of long established businesses that are still going from when I was a youth.(circa 1960's) A few that spring to mind are Baccis newsagents on Whitesands, the fishing tackle shop at the bottom of the Vennel (restricted opening now though), Mogerleys butchers, and the tobacconists at the bottom of Bank Street and there must be a few more in and around the Town Centre. Obviously there are a few pubs still on the go from back then but maybe not run by the same families. I doubt if many of the High Street businesses are under the same ownership as back then either.
Is the fishing tackle shop the one that used to be called The Radio Doctor?
