The Bead Shop at 22 High Street sells beads and other supplies for making jewellery. It also runs tuition classes in making your own. Threshers at 24 High Street, used to be an off-licence, selling wines, beers and spirits. It was part of a larger group, called First Quench, which collapsed in late 2009. This branch closed just before Christmas 2009. A year and a half later, the property is still empty and to let. Although a few branches of Threshers were sold to other off-licence groups, quite a lot of their former branches are in the same position as this one.
