I don't remember this from previous visits to Balsall Common. Indeed, the 1:10k mapping and a superb aerial photo show this as a vacant site. How many local shops will this glorified convenience store put out of business? To the right of it is the access to a free public car park, whence one may visit a community hall or the public library that fronts Kenilworth Road A452. John Brightley adds "Yes, you are correct -the building was completed about 6 months ago [perhaps January 2015]. It replaced a couple of shops with flats above which were built in about the 1930's. I wish I'd got a photo of them before they were demolished."
