==== History of number 83 ====

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/23066873@N02/6670249553/ According to a photo on Flickr], at some point in the past number 83 was occupied by a handbag shop called Lindy Lou.

By May 2012 it was a shoe shop called Unze By Shalimar Shoes <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7096257219/ photo]</small>, but this closed some time in October or early November 2013 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/10802292885/ photo]</small>. By mid-November the interior was stripped out <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/10802279505/ photo]</small> and by late March 2014 it was boarded up <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/13519127464/ photo]</small>. It was still vacant as of April 2014.

A new clothes shop opened in July 2014, initially with no name on the frontage <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/14731116895/ photo]</small> but the owner told us he was thinking of calling it "Miss Selfie". By August of that year it had a proper sign up <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/14880386385/ photo]</small>. It closed down again some time between July and September 2015.

The premises were vacant as of mid-September 2015 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/21433906530/ photo]</small>, but by the end of that month another new clothes shop called Mbuta Nanga! <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/21653016788/ photo]</small> had opened. Some time between January and September 2016 this moved to [[Croydon Village Outlet, 2 North End|Croydon Village Outlet]] <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/29907588476/ photo of notice]</small>.

It was still vacant as of January 2017, March 2017, and September 2017. As of June 2018 it was covered in scaffolding <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/29189726778/ photo]</small>, but as of August 2018 the scaffolding had come down <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/42516790070/ photo]</small> and there seemed to be some shopfitting work going on, which included amalgamating it with number 85 next door. The combined premises then opened as a branch of Card Factory some time between August 2018 and January 2019.

==== History of number 85 ====

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/23066873@N02/8095442906/ According to a photo on Flickr], as of c.&nbsp;1988 number 85 was a British Airways shop (see also [https://www.flickr.com/photos/23066873@N02/6670249553/ older, undated photo]).

By December 2011 it was a T-Mobile shop <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6950207946/ photo]</small>, but this rebranded to EE ("Everything Everywhere") some time around October 2012 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8170281807/ photo]</small>. In May 2016 EE moved next door to larger premises at [[Burger King (CLOSED), 87-89 North End|numbers 87-89]].

The shop was still vacant as of September 2016, January 2017, March 2017, and September 2017. As of June 2018 it was covered in scaffolding <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/29189726778/ photo]</small>, but as of August 2018 the scaffolding had come down <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/44276469482/ photo]</small> and work was in progress to amalgamate it with number 83, as described above.
