The Co-op built this convenience store on the new Elsea Park estate, and it is normally impossible to get into the car park. Today, with the town in lockdown because of the Covid-19 epidemic, there were no other customers when I popped in (the car beside me belongs to the manager). The posters in the window explained the one-out-one-in queueing system and other exhortations to avoid spreading the infection, although the low afternoon sun and reflections on the glass prevented me taking close-ups of them. The large red-and-white stop symbol gives the game away, however. This photograph could not have been taken at any other time.
