Empty shop on Lordship Lane

[Lynne]

Does anyone know anything about the old empty shop on Lordship Lane, near the butchers, black paint, tatty curtains?. It's been empty as long as I can remember. It seems a waste of accomodation if the whole place is uninhabited

Lynne,

The whole shop and building has looked empty for many years but I think that it was either last year or the year before when there was a fire upstairs and it turned out that an elderly women, who lived in the whole building on her own, had accidentally started a fire. I got this info' from the manager of Franklin's.

I don't think that she died in the fire of was seriously injured and some time after repairs were made to the roof and windows of the building.

I'd be interested in knowing more of what happened too.

Cheers.

Thanks. if there's someone there, well, if you don't want to paint your house you needn't. It adds a touch of interest to the area

the old lady moved back in after the fire damage was repaired, and still lives there.
