I recently had a lot of work done to my Victorian property in ED. I feel compelled to recommend the builder I used on The ED Forum. I had three quotes, and Thomas was in the middle on the price, but I was drawn to use him because of the way he spoke about his work - he just gave me confidence that he'd do a good job. I made a good choice. He and his team were reliable, carried out very good work, and dealt with the inevitable things that go wrong on a major project without a fuss. Above all, they were entirely trustworthy - much of the work was done whilst I was working abroad on a project.

Thomas can be contacted on 07950 119017.

If anyone wants further details, then by all means PM me.

Stuart

  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."
