Shopping habits in the UK have changed over the last sixty years, and this can be seen in the changing appearance of any British high street – the main shopping street in a town or city. In the 1950s, high streets had rows of individual shops selling different things. ¹___ Most people did this every few days in order to buy fresh food. The high street was a sociable place to be. 

This started to change in the 1970s with the arrival of supermarkets. They gave people the chance to buy everything that they needed in one place. People didn’t need to go to individual shops any more. ²___ So this new type of shop, along with a new way of storing meat and fruit at home, meant that instead of doing a small shop every few days, people could buy all the food that they needed for a week, or sometimes even a month. 

As supermarkets became more popular, they changed from small local shops to huge superstores. ³___ They took people away from the high street.
