Located on Bridge Street, E & R GOFF is one of a number of newsagents in the town centre. Its main selling point is that it is open seven days a week, and is convenient for the river. Although floor space can get a little cramped and crowded.

As well as selling newspapers and sweets and a few groceries, lottery tickets and postcards, it has a photocopier, and sells fishing supplies and licences. The window display one side is aimed at children’s pocket money: toy cars, water pistols, and jewellery.

During the summer months it also has an ice cream and lollipop freezer, and a Slush Puppie crushed ice drinks machine outside on the pavement.

Curious that it has such a large and permanent advert for the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail is a national tabloid which runs the Ideal Home Exhibition and has done since 1908. It has regular articles on property prices. Todays headline is “Hundreds of Foreign Convicts to stay in UK.” The Mail do not take kindly to asylum seekers, or the European Union.
