Historical version 33 of Black Butcher And Black Baker, 21-23 Church Street (view current version)
- 21 Church Street, CR0 1RH
Mobile phone shop on Church Street. It opened in early 2014.
Note: As of April 2017, it's closed and there's building work going on inside, apparently including knocking this and next door (currently Jerk And Fried Chicken) into one. It's not clear whether the newly-amalgamated premises will be a Jamaican takeaway or a mobile phone shop or neither.
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.
