As far as I can remember it was the coming of Sainsburys to DKH that saw the demise of many of the shops, Smiths the Greengrocers Heads the butchers and many others. The Chinese that is now the Tulip Cafe only closed in about 1992, gosh thats 16 years ago time does fly.There was Gents mens shop where the Sea Cow is now that sold some great mens clothes better than White Stuff and run by John Fisher RIP who was raised in the flat above.The Foresters was one of my favourite pubs in the early nintiesit was very well ran by a guy called George. And upstairs at the EDT for comedy and celebrity ub quizz were fab. ED in my 17 years here has never been rough.
