The memorial
471 record shops that have closed. 227 of them with the month they shut and the source that reported it.
Most directories delete a shop the day it closes, and the fact it ever existed goes with it. We keep it. Where nobody published a closing date we say so rather than invent one — a bare “Closed” is honest; a guessed month is not.
