There has been no sign of life in this shop for a few days.
Kelvin Lucy, the newsagent, moved to this location, where The Pine Shop had been, about four years ago. Back then, the Co-op had closed for a re-build and so the time was right to expand and become a convenience store. More recently Londis / Bargain Booze moved in, then the Co-op re-opened, and a couple of months ago W H Smith. So have they called it a day?
Yes, the town centre's loss is our gain – they are very welcome round here!
Hopefully also it will improve the trade for the remaining two indpenedent newsagents in town.
Now all we need is a nice shop to move in there….
He told me a while back that he was moving. Should be a good catchment area there and he won't have to compete with the town centre shops.
Hope it's not empty for too lomg though…
They've moved,not shut down! Gone to the shop on Oxford Road, near the corner of St John's Road. Was in there a couple of days ago, they're just getting sorted out, but the same helpful friendly service.
strange that they haven't left a sign on their shop door in the High Street to tell us where they went

THere's no sign of life at the Grapes either. Anyone know what happened there?
perhaps the Coop will extend into it as they did in Wootton.
