For several years this was used by the charity British Heart Foundation for the sale of electrical goods and furniture. They have now relocated to elsewhere in the town. The empty shop joins several others at this end of the street, giving it a rather run down feel. Those shops that survive are overwhelmingly bargain type stores and charity shops. In the present economic climate it is difficult to see this situation being reversed. It could be argued that Kidderminster, like a lot of similar towns, has far more shop premises than it needs. Only time will tell. The shop when in use by British Heart Foundation:- Image
