The first row of shops on the A6010 through Fallowfield occupy the ground floors of the Mabfield Buildings, built 1898. Business there currently include Papa Johns (pizzeria), Cookie 'n' Dough, nino milano (hairdressing since 1969), Kosmos (Greek restaurant), Jupiter Properties, Turkiss (takeaway with minicab office above) and Fallowfield Convenience Store. Ten years earlier Cookie 'n' Dough was the "award-winning" Raj Halal takeaway, Jupiter Properties was the Mr Bubbles launderette and dry cleaners and Turkiss was "mega chicken",
