In 2010 Image this group of shops comprised Peters Beds, Hyde Domestics and Big Bite Pizza. By 2012 Image Big Bite Pizza had changed to the Hyde Kebab House (although the shop seemed to be boarded up rather than shuttered) and Hyde Domestics had been replaced by a tattoo and piercing parlour called "To The Point". By 2015 Image Peters Beds had relocated but it appeared some stock was still being stored there. The former Hyde Kebab House still looked closed. The tattoo parlour had been taken over by Beak and Claw Pets & Aquatics. In February 2016 Image a sign on the former kebab shop said "New Cafe Opening Soon" while Beak and Claw is permanently shuttered. Now in September 2016 the sign about a new cafe opening has gone and Beak and Claw have also moved out of the shop although I understand they are still operating from a unit in the nearby Adamson Industrial Estate.
