As of early November 2012 there was a sign up for a business called "Cow &amp; Chicken", advertising itself as selling "American style burgers, hot dogs, subs". As of mid-February 2013, Cow &amp; Chicken still hadn't opened <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8148813614/ photo]</small>, though there was a sign in the window advertising job openings for various staff. Cow &amp; Chicken finally opened <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9188035996/ photo]</small> some time between mid-February and late May 2013. However, it had probably closed again by autumn of that year (as of October 2013 we noted that we hadn't seen it open for a while). It had definitely closed by early January 2014, by which point the premises were vacant with shopfitting work going on inside <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/11772192426/ photo]</small>, and one of the workers told us this was in aid of turning it into a phone shop. UK Mobile <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/13519028584/ photo]</small> was open by late March 2014 but closed down again in March or April 2017.

By January 2012, number 23 was a Jamaican takeaway called Taste of Jamaica <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/6614249123/ photo]</small>. As well as various meals with rice-and-peas (fish, curry goat, etc), this also did Jamaican breakfast (porridge, ackee and saltfish, etc), Caribbean sandwiches (served in coco bread), patties (fish, chicken, veg, etc) and various types of chicken wing. They had two seats for eat-in, but these were tall stools set next to a small shelf for eating off, and there really wasn't much room.

Some time between September and December 2016, Taste of Jamaica was renamed to Jerk &amp; Fried Chicken <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32106082732/ photo]</small>; we don't know if there was also a change of management. This closed down in March or April 2017.

As of April 2017, both number 21 and number 23 were vacant, with building work going on inside including knocking the two shops into one. By May 2017, signage for "Khan Halal Meat" had appeared on the upper-floor frontage <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/34848626292/ photo]</small>, and this was open by mid-July 2017
