Unwins, Lucy, and Movie Zone


For months Unwins have had a few cans of lager and a packets of crisps. A couple of weeks ago we heard they have gone into liquidation. But now they have begun to fill up the shelves again, and there is a new sign 'Under New Management - Threshers Group'. Still not got much variety on the shelves: hundreds of cans of Stella, and bottles of Famous Grouse Whisky.

Kelvin Lucy, a local newsagent on the High Street has also closed. Among all the clutter is a notice to say that they have moved to 14 Ock Street where they will do newspapers and food.

Another shop on the way out is the Movie Zone on Ock Street. It has been there for about 12 months lending DVDs. Didn't quite make that dream into reality.
