Mobile phone shop on Church Street. It opened in early 2014.

According to a photo on Flickr, as of c. 1985 the premises were occupied by a tobacconists called Finlays (most easily visible at original size).

According to another photo on Flickr, as of December 1990 the occupant was a shoe repair and keycutting shop.

Before the end of 2012, the premises were occupied by a chip shop called "Chipz & Dipz" photo, though we're not entirely sure if this ever actually opened; in January 2012 there was an "opening soon" sign outside photo, but by July 2012 the premises were padlocked and there was mail piling up inside. As of September 2012 the premises were still empty and a sign had appeared in the window photo offering chip shop equipment for sale.

As of early November 2012 there was a sign up for a business called "Cow & Chicken", advertising itself as selling "American style burgers, hot dogs, subs". As of mid-February 2013, Cow & Chicken still hadn't opened photo, though there was a sign in the window advertising job openings for various staff. Cow & Chicken finally opened photo 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 photo, and one of the workers told us this was in aid of turning it into a phone shop. UK Mobile was open by late March 2014.

Existence last checked in December 2015.
