Boarded up shop near Costcutters

Post by sherlomi »

I'm sure this shop has had a mention before but if so Ive missed it. The boarded up shop on the corner
a couple of doors down from Costcutters has been empty for literally years and I often wonder why.
I think Im right in saying the last time it was in use was as a Thai restaurant. It is an eyesore and I just
wondered if anyone could enlighten me on it.

No idea. It would be lovely to see this shop put back into use.

If it’s the corner property I always thought it was just a boarded up bit of shop that had been converted into a flat/house and was maybe accessed another way. Been like that for at least 4 years by my count..

I think I am right in saying that this shop has been boarded up for more than a decade.

They are serviced offices and currently for rent. I'm not sure if this includes the ground floor.

I think the serviced offices are next door to the boarded-up shop.

I remember when it was a Thai restaurant. In those days (early 90s) we were lucky enough to have 2 brilliant Thai restaurants in the area; there was also one on Dartmouth Road. The one on Dartmouth Road was turned into a Mexican place I think. Anyone else remember this?
