Thread: Shops, pubs, restaurants, etc Post: Retail units on Perry Vale
I see a notice has been put up on one of the empty units in the development opposite the station. Some form of off-licence. Anyone know any further details ? |

Perry Dry Cleaners on Perry Vale, to which I regularly take my shirts for laundering, charges £1.50 per shirt. Bargain. Life is too short to wash, dry and then (grrr) iron work shirts. |
