- 81 Church Street, CR0 1RH
African grocery shop on the corner of Church Street and Old Palace Road. It opened in April 2015, having moved from its previous location at 3 Overton Yard (where it was variously known as Alfi Afro, Alfred's Food Store, and Cape Coast Market).
Note: As of November 2015 this may have closed (though we haven't confirmed this yet). Still seems closed as of December 2015.
Accessibility: A temporary ramp to get in, not particularly well-aligned with the threshold.
In Autumn 2013, plans were announced to run a series of pop-up shops in the space. The first of these, a babies/children's clothes shop photo, opened in October 2013 and had closed again by January 2014 photo of stripped-out interior taken through shutter.
In June 2014, the pop-up shop reopened in larger premises across the road at numbers 86-66.
Number 81 remained empty photo for a few months, but by July 2014 an appliances (white goods) shop called UK Monster Deals photo had opened. This closed again some time between November 2014 and March 2015 photo.
