The shuttered window on the right (62 Waterloo Street) is reported to be the last remaining traditional oatcake shop, where customers are served via a window onto the street, rather than entering a shop. It is closed today (only open Wednesday - Saturday) and is due to close permanently next week for redevelopment of the area. Many of the houses on this and surrounding streets have already been demolished.
