The Stapley Building (formerly Horley Bookshop)

An ugly duckling becomes a swan. One big ugly building is split into two shops with a local charity and Subway in occupation. Honouring the past the building has been named The Stapley Building after the former men's outfitters who occupied the site in the early half of the 1900s. Still has nice mosaic floor in the entrance with Stapley written on it. Lovely shop fronts, better than the aluminium alternative! Modern materials used and better than the chocolate colour it was before.
