In addition to the Fish and Chips shop, the High Street now boasts a smartly-painted fish restaurant. |
The High Street is already busy quite early on a Saturday morning. Parking becomes impossible later on. |
Although the original pumps had to be removed, the garage in the centre still has the overhead line. |
