Knights had another shop opposite the cycle shop Hines Transport was almost opposite the police station snooker was next door owned by the Royals who had a second snooker hall at Hawthorn rd. there was a little sweet shop next to Hines the Roses green grocery store then Austin’s Butchers I worked there for a couple of years as a apprentice 1958 then the Co-op butchers, the Co-op also bought Hines Transport land and built a new super store tunnel shape don’t know if it’s still there
