Whitleigh Green Shopping Precinct Plymouth
Image: © Mick Lobb Taken: 2 Oct 2008
A small shopping precinct on what was once a 'council' estate now having a proportion of privately owned homes. Included in the estate plan to meet the day to day needs of residents but now serves largely to meet their emergency needs and the day to day needs of those who haven't the transport or capacity to shop elsewhere. Inevitably the precinct houses a fish and chip shop! Prices in such precincts are invariably higher than in the large out of town supermarkets which leads to their gradual decline as evidenced by one or two of these being boarded up, though local vandalism also plays its part. Upper floors of the shops contain flats.
