But sadly there are some that have disappeared over time.
Here's a reminder of shops that could be seen on the high street a few years ago.
13. JJB Sports
Now a Heron Foods, this building used to house JJB Sports. Selling a variety of sporting equipment and clothing, the brand was bought by Sports Direct in 2012.
14. Home Bargains
Now occupying a space on Pellon Lane, Home Bargains used to have a shop on Southgate in Halifax Town Centre. Over this years this space has been a Poundland and a Poundworld.
