Shame to hear of a long established business closing. I can remember over seventy years ago looking longingly in the window of Claude Butler Cycles at what I would never be able to have.

In France they do "list", shops and restaurants which are deemed to be necessary to the community or important to the town or village.

They have been part of the landscape since Genesis chapter one, I remember popping into the shop for an inner tube on the way home from the Walpole cinema. It's a pity a business can't legally be listed as grade 2 like a building.I wonder what takeaway or supermarket will replace them.

The owners posted somewhere that they were retiring!
