I put my postcode into the search engine and got mostly supermarkets. I remember record shops in the 'good old days' but they have all closed down now and I dumped all my vinyl years ago. Trouble is that most people nowadays including me don't have a dedicated audio system and instead play CD's & MP3's on a DVD player connected to a home cinema system.
I got rid of my seperates technics hi-fi system and its huge speakers because of the room it takes up. The real shame was the system cost a fortune originally and was worthless second hand but I didn't just want to take it to the dump - I ended up giving it to a friend.
However for the real music enthusiasts the websites are a good idea but I can't see that many shops opening up to sell vinyl because of the low demand for it. There was a shop that opened in Leeds, UK near me a few years ago but it closed down after around 4 months of trading. Any new shops would have to be promoted heavily on the website(s). I can see them being popular with DJ's though.
