Like the surrounding housing development this small shopping precinct dates from the 1960s. In those days there would probably have been a selection of shops selling basic necessities including possibly a butchers, greengrocers and newsagents. In the era of supermarkets and convenience stores, such a range of separate shops is hardly ever necessary and different sorts of retailers have come in to fill the gaps. In this view there is China Garden, selling take away Chinese food, a gift card shop and a pet store.
