The to let sign has been taken down and there is a lot of activity going on inside....the mystery deepens. ;)

Someone suggested last night that it's going to be a Subway - that would be a shame :(

Anything (even a Subway) is better than letting it stand there boarded up.

You beat me to it!!

The building that was formerly of Hanbury's is going to be used as an electrical store e.g. washing machines etc.

I used to shop there during the 80's and I've always said it's a space being wasted up until now.

I wish the store success.

Well it's open and it definately looks much better for being an open shop rather than a boarded up place.  ;D

I am also pleased about the new use of the building, its a bit hard on the eye's being all white inside, but I am sure that with a few wall decorations and features and some floor coverings it will be a really nice shopping experience.
