The recession has apparently changed the face of the UK high street - adding more betting shops but taking away estate agents and building societies.
The Ordnance Survey compared 27 million retail addresses across Britain between now and October 2008, when the financial crisis began.
It found that banks, recruitment agencies, estate agents and pubs were increasingly leaving the high street, while the prevalence of betting shops and car washes grew.
The number of building society branches fell more than 28% across the country but London saw the biggest change with a decrease of 46.9%.
