It was a wonderful shop - a great range of haberdashery (where else could one hope to get embroidery hoops) and surreal service.
The sort of thing that is being killed by so much being now available on-line. Inevitable progress I suppose, but I'm glad to have known them.
There's certainly room for coffee and music shops along there, in fact there's still quite a few empty shops. But I wouldn't want Nunhead to become too much like Lordship Lane, all 'fancy goods'. You can't buy embroidery hoops there anymore but there's still some useful places like MKK, the great plumbers suppliers (very helpful even to people like me who barely know one end of a tap from another).
