Built as part of the Talisman Square development in the 1960's and refurbished with a new glass canopy a couple of years ago. From left to right - vacant former Woolworths store; Greggs bakery; Kenilworth News-newspapers, stationery and gifts; Pizzo pizza restaurant/takeaway; Christian hair salon. In the window of the former Woolworths can be seen posters advertising Kenilworth Festival events. The national Woolworths chain went bankrupt and closed in December 2008 - this store has lain vacant since then, though a rear portion including the side entrance off Talisman Square has been separated off to form a new branch of WH Smith.
