There's never been anyone in there, when I've been going past.

Had no idea of the rent costs -my mum worked in the arcade in a shop selling coats and macs back in the 50's -these days supermarket chains of cheap chinese goods mean that people go for cheap and cheerful and small shops die...

Are there still stalls on the market selling cloths and patterns for dressmaking? We used to go every weekend, mum made all our dresses and knitted cardis and jumpers for winter too...
