Card shop on Broadway is in administration, looks likely to close, Birthdays has closed and Clintons are relocating to that unit.

Re: another shop bites the dust
Even the poundshop was slashing to half prices to be on region of the 50p shop

Its a buyers market & working in the retail industry is becoming a hard job these days.

Looks like they've turned full circle poundshops all started of as 50p shops in the early 80s, the first exponent of that was Ray Lyndon on his Market stalls, he had about 6 market sites all flogging 50p gear, not to mention Sunday Markets too
