Bata is another name that is gone. They sold inexpensive shoes. 49/11 (or near on £2-50) was a price that might have been seen for a pair of shoes.I just did a search online for the name and found that, while it might be history on the UK High Street, they still have an Internet presence.

Re: High Street names that have disappeared
Mountstevens Bakery ......... mmmm - I can recall the smell of their fresh baked cakes now! You used to be able to go in the shop and buy one freshly baked cake of your choice.... no multi packs there or the additives that are put into today's cakes.There used to be long queues outside the shop before opening on a Good Friday, everyone waiting to buy their hot cross buns and they were proper spiced buns, so different from today's imitations
