| Did you read the whole article? Obviously written some time ago (Kwik Fut has been closed for ages and due for demolition). Then there’s this: ‘This stretch of the road has a feeling of impermanence. The pawnbrokers, and the pop-up and mayfly shops that sadly close not long after opening – hopes, dreams and expensive signs, dismantled so soon. You often forget what a shop was once its signage is removed, identity stripped.’ And this: ‘Between Sainsbury’s trolley stand and the Broadway is a familiar sad back-street scene. Large bins on wheels are overfull with packaging from yesterday’s treats. Cardboard is strewn about by the wind, pigeons nodding and picking through it all. Beyond, discarded old shopping trolleys lie stranded and a couple of crouching street drinkers share a can and look on, seemingly also stranded. The dirt behind the shopfront daydream.’ Not quite the idyll some might think…. |
