The Hippodrome Theatre closed in the 1960s and the building was converted into a "Supermarket" though actually it was an "inside market" with various independent stalls on two storeys and included a very popular cafe. That closed in the 1990s and was vacant for a few years before opening as Quality Save. The building is now being restored and is expected to re-open in spring as Home Bargains.
