Whenever I came over to England as a child, this was the first thing that I wanted to buy (you couldn't get it in Ireland):
Ferguson TVs and VHS
Scotch VHS tapes
Grattan catalogues (always fell open on the lingerie or shower pages for some reason ?)
One Cal fizzy pop

Ever Ready is alive and well and operates under its new (decades ago) name of Energizer.

Bata still exits in other markets - Africa, India etc.
Wimpy isn’t strictly a contender as there are still a few dozen outlets across Britain limping along but it can only be a matter of time until the brand succumbs to the might of that American giant. Meanwhile when I bought my SE London house a few years ago I was pleased to find a Wimpy not too far away in Woolwich town centre.
One defunct brand much missed in its small former market was Manx Airlines - one of the last proper old school national airlines. Finishing Friday meetings early in London and racing to LHR for the mid afternoon flight (free ticket change from the evening flight with the bonus of cream tea) and home by 1700.

The Coventry freezer that's still going strong after 33 years
It was the year we first started watching EastEnders, Back to the Future was on at the cinema, and millions of people around the world watched Live Aid.
1985 was also the year Coventry mum Sue Downes bought a freezer from Bejam.
Thirty-three years later and the trusty appliance is still going strong.
...
Bejam was once Britain’s best-known frozen food retailer but also sold electrical appliances with the Bejam brand name, including freezers, refrigerators, microwave ovens and dishwashers.
The company was founded in 1968 by John Apthorp and grew out of a family-owned potato merchant firm.
The chain ceased to be in 1989 when it was bought-up by its rival Iceland.

You can still buy a modern incarnation of Bigtrak https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zeon-Limite...c=1&th=1&psc=1
There's a Wimpy by Mordor Morden Tube and another at the Southsea pleasure beach.
Have we done Swisskit bars? I'd risk it for a Swisskit.
