Lost Blockbuster Video store in Prescot, Merseyside

A look at the old Blockbuster Video store in Prescot, Merseyside.

The former Blockbuster Video shop on Church Street in Prescot is now Partyworld, but the old QuikDrop box is still in place with visible branding.

Another 7 years late fee

If you look closely you can also see that the original Blockbuster sign is underneath the Partyworld sign.

Another Lost Blockbuster. It's good to see the Partyworld shop trading in its place though

Can you see the blue and yellow branding?

The old and the new - we didn't know Prescot had links to Shakespeare before our trip there. The crane is part of the building work of the new Shakespeare North Playhouse

Quite a sight to see a Blockbuster Video QuikDrop box AND social distancing measures in the same place!

I wonder how many letters get posted in the QuikDrop box by mistake

Retail archaeology

It's always nice to see remnants of old brands and ghost signs when they are hidden in plain sight.

Since we found the remains of Blockbuster Video near us in Fallowfield, Manchester we've been looking to see if there are any other former branches still showing signs of the brand. We've found a Blockbuster Video Express in Colne, as well as remnants in Cheadle Hulme and Marple.
