Just to the north-east side of the flyover, a block of shops remained, marooned on a cul-de-sac, detached from any passing trade. For a few years they struggled on, gradually falling into ruin, the butchers, the bakers, the greengrocers. A few shops found temporary use for other trades - like a property repairer! But not for long. The amazing thing, looking back, is that in the 1970's nobody bothered to board up the derelict shops. OK, the windows were broken, but they hadn't been set on fire, and they remained like this for years.
