Oh Yes, Binns! was taken over by House of Frazer.
Farnons, my mam would only ever buy her curtains from Franons.. she used to get a 'Provi' cheque to get them... never told my dad though!

My mam used to get Brentford Nylons 'rejects' they never die! DS is 42 and we still have his Brentford Nylons pram set (and a teddy made from off cuts, in pristine condition.

Anyone remember VG stores?

Was VG the same as Victor Value? We had one of those. Also a supermarket called Caters and another food shop called Macfisheries.
