Gamestation in Norwich

Spotting at old Gamestation shop sign in Norwich.

I used to buy a lot of retro games at Gamestation but the brand left the high street in 2012.

So I was a little surprised to see the shop sign still up at the former Castle Quarter shopping centre location in Norwich last month.

Gamestation was founded in 1993 and was purchased by Game in 2007. The remaining stores were rebranded as Game in 2012.

Other lost shops

It's interesting to see traces, remnants and signage of lost shop brands on our travels. We've also seen a number of former Blockbuster Video stores, a lot of Toys R Us shops, a handful of Woolworths, a British Home Stores or two, a Kwik Save, some Tandy and RadioShack shops, a few old Grainger Games stores, quite a lot of Debenhams, as well as some former Carphone Warehouse and JJB Sports stores.
