I posted a question about Townley Dental earlier today and it was put into the local business section and nobody replied so hopefully it'll stay in main section for a while longer this time. When did Townley Dental become 'Dental Beauty'? I only noticed the new signage today. Does that mean it will no longer be offering NHS services? I've been going there for years and had no clue it was about to change.
I had to go there for an emergency appointment on Friday and it had change ownership last Monday. I don?t know if they still do NHS but they had all my records from years ago. The dentist was lovely and the receptionist Margaret is still there :) I hope that helps somewhat!
Thanks. The staff seem to be the same judging from their new website but 'pricing' doesn't mention NHS at all. It seems they're now offering 'finance'. And 'anti-wrinkle treatments'. I'll have to pop in to ask what the situation is now. Just a bit surprised that they haven't emailed/mailed existing patients.

Townley Dental has been sold by the 2 major owners and have departed. One of those was my dentist so a bit disappointed. Sadly they did not contact the existing patients which is a bit of a shame really and could have been handled better. 6-12 months ago there was only one dentist taking new NHS patients and all the others were private only.


What's in a name? Dental Beauty rather than say Health seems to suggest the general focus ambition and direction of travel one could possibly assume. We shall find out.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
