Above the shops were Council owned maisonettes, the entrance to the maisonettes was at the rear of the building in Park House Gardens.

The shops were demolished in 2008 and the plot was vacant for a couple of years, in 2011 work started on redevelopment.
Six modern one bedroom bungalows now occupy this site, the red post box has also gone.
