This 2008 view shows a well known row of derelict shops situated at the junction of Warstone Lane and Icknield Street. The official address of the New Rimini Cafe was 114 Icknield Street (ref: The National Archives 99/00461). The shops to the right included a sports shop, newsagent and a Chinese takeaway. (ref: The National Archives AA99/02967) The entire row of shops shown here has since been demolished to make way for a new mixed use development. Despite the historical significance of these former back to back houses, no attempt was made to save them.
