The CDPB theme this month is "Corner Shop".
This shop on the corner of Croft Street and Railway Street is alas, no longer a shop but like so many has been converted into an ordinary house as you can see on Hyde DP.

Interesting choice and topic, Gerald. At least, the building endures and serves a good purpose.
