Over the past two weeks, we've been having a look at odd-numbered properties, and even-numbered properties on Ashby Road, and comparing current pictures with ones from 2013. Today we'll have a look at some of the shops: in 2013 I didn't actually share many photos at all, so most of the pics will be from 2023.

Difficult to see what's changed since 2013 as I hadn't posted many photos to be able to compare, but I'm sure you'll spot some huge changes!____________________________________
