Not from UK. Exactly what is a "high street"? Never heard this term before.
- Its the area of a town that has all the retail shops. A lot of towns have a road literally called High Street but the term is generalised to mean the main retail area of a town. Typically smaller shops in the town centre rather than out of town shopping centres and retail parks with larger stores and dedicated car parking
  
  Thank you
