Stoniers, Williamson Square, Liverpool, 2003 • Offering “a world of glass and china” no more, this famous Liverpool store once supplied crockery to the Titanic (and indeed the whole White Star Line, whose old Liverpool HQ I featured here). Marks & Spencer purchased the premises in 2010, and by 2012 it was demolished. Plans for a futuristic M&S did not materialise, and there’s still controversy surrounding the whole square.
