This parade of shops bears out the apparent truth that the last types of outlet to survive in any place are a general store, then a fast-food takeaway, and finally a ladies' hairdresser's. The convenience store here is also the post office and the takeaway is a Chinese one. The modern postbox is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays – very likely coinciding with post office opening hours.
