Many primary school age children say they have never visited traditional high street shops such as the butcher's or greengrocer's, a survey has found.
Among the five to 11-year-olds surveyed, nearly a third (32 per cent) said they had never been to a butcher's shop, while almost a quarter (23 per cent) had not visited a greengrocer.
When asked what a high street is, a quarter did not know.
The research by Nationwide Building Society provides further evidence of the decline of the high street, as families shun old-fashioned businesses in favour of online shopping and supermarkets.
Tradition: Children have never visited traditional high street stores from a butcher's to a greengrocer's
But nearly three quarters (72 per cent) of the 2,000 children said they would prefer to buy in a shop than online.
The reasons given for this were to explore the items, feeling grown-up and being able to talk to people.
When asked what would make them go to a high street more often, the most popular answers were more places to play and a better choice of shops. And three per cent would be more tempted if there were more phone chargers.
Nationwide's Mandy Beech said: 'Kids say the high street gives them the opportunity to explore and feel grown-up. But they want more variety and places to play and that can only come from greater investment.'
