Sadly, this shop at number 143, next door to Delight Boutique is now more dust than star. It had an excellent position at the heart of the market near Sainsbury's and the Chequers and was accordingly not vacant long: the builders soon transformed it intoAfrosia. Sadly, though, the owners of this venture were not great merchandisers and they ended up failing in their venture. The premices are now occupied mainly by the Chinese shop and one of those phone accessories kiosks.
