  1. I'd love to own a building like this. Live upstairs, work the downstairs.

  2. Love the effect of the different curtains on the top floor. Makes it feel like there's a different story behind each one.

  3. I loved working in here when I was 15 and it was Hartleys grocers. I remember my first day when it was still set out as a traditional grocers with a deli counter in as you walked in on the right and fruit & veg as you went further up the shop, which we served to our customers. My first job was to clean the glass behing the veg displays and I broke a pane on my first day. Loved it. Interior has changed somewhat since then.

  4. It used to be Hartleys? Pity - I thought perhaps it had been one of the original Home and Colonial shops that I remember from many years ago!
