A video rental shop in 2024: Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds

Spotting a video rental shop in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

What a sign to see

We recently visited family in Bury St Edmunds and on our drive out of the town we spotted a the sign for Northgate Video & DVD - a video rental shop!

Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds
This reminded me of small, independent video shops from back in the day

We've spent the last few years documenting the last traces of Blockbuster Video stores here in the UK, and we've found some other video shop signage on our travels. So it was brilliant to find Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds was still trading. Unfortunately it was a Bank Holiday so the shop wasn't open, but we're planning to visit next time we're in the area.

Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds is one of only a handful of video rental shops still in business in the UK. Long may it continue!
