Corner Shop


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.

  2. I'll be going to see that next: I'm curious if it is one family house or not. I love these old photos.

  5. Again a site echoed throughout the UK the old corner shop now housing.

    Gary said that Fleetwood still has lots of these corner shops still going, despite the rise of the Freeport.

  10. I remember when this was a shop, not too long ago, actually, I think it definitely survived into the 21st century.
    I live nearby and used to go there for sweets as a kid.
