Some of the shops south of Broadway Baths have mainly sustained the same trades for the past 50 years. Under its 1960s owners, the grocery store was something of an innovator, providing both the first "mini market" (i.e. a diminutive self-service supermarket) in the local area and "Green Shield" trading stamps, an early form of loyalty scheme. The bookmakers seems to have been there for ever.
