These shops are the nearest ones in this picture: Image which I took nearly 9 years ago. The one directly in front of us is a closed branch of the Provincial Building Society, according to the rather surprising sign above the door. The Provincial was merged in 1982 to become the National Provincial, which itself was subsumed by the Abbey National in 1996. See Image] for a closer view of the rather baffling sign.
