A Therapy Centre, Newsagent/Post Office, Delicatessen/Tea Shop (a handy stop on the Hadrian's Wall National Trail) and a Veterinary Surgery make up the current selection. A popular children's nursery, Abacus, now occupies the building on the right. It was built in 1962, for Throckley District Co-op, whose shop had been in the old blacksmiths near The Three Tuns since 1924. In 1978, it was used as a perfume factory.
