“We have been in Chatsworth Road for 45 years’ says the owner, Jay. We used to own the pharmacy in what used to be the old post office, then in 1989 we moved to a place across the road, before moving here in 1998. We also used to have a sweet shop, where the internet shop is now, next to William Hill. It would be lovely to have a market. Beautiful.” Jay remembers when the market was here. “You couldn’t move it was so busy. One of the last market stalls was called Jack and Jill and sold fruit and veg. It sadly shut up shop in 1995. Our counter sales have dropped 50% in the last ten years but we are becoming increasingly health orientated, particularly in terms of natural health and we are also offering more services to the community.

I try and do most of my shopping on Chats if I can but don't shop here anymore. They're so judgemental and rude. I've rarely met such rude and unfriendly staff. Not anything like the other great shops on our street.
