The Credit Crunch and the High Street: ‘Coming like a Ghost Town’

Chris Yuill

Sociological Research Online, 2009, vol. 14, issue 2, 97-102

Abstract: Drawing on primary visual data and secondary sources this rapid response piece speculates on the changes to the British high street as a consequence of the credit crunch. The changes are much more profound than simply the loss of a place to shop. For both individuals and wider society the changes to the British high street carry implications for issues of self-identity, social contacts and social exclusion.
