If Louisa and DF had their way, every shop front down Lordship Lane would look like that. I agree though, just one shop front like that doesn't bother me. Whoever lives there has to put up with the stench of dead animal from the one side and dry cleaning chemicals from the other, so I'd be inclined to cut them some slack! But then again, who actually knows why the building is like that? - it could be the old lady, or some grasping relative, or something completely different.
