BPS Architectural Ironmongery moves

BPS's Architectural Ironmongery shop (doorknobs, handles and locks, I think) has moved from George Street (in the town centre, opposite The Townhouse) to a new location on Hermes Close, off Tachbrook Park Drive.

The George Street location is currently being refitted to be a new and second hand furniture shop, according to Leamington Changelog's informant, who was wielding a circular saw on the premises at the time.

Update: the second hand shop is now open.

Cartridge World

Cartridge World, a printer cartridge refilling shop, has opened on Bath St.

Pound shop on High Street

High Street has a Pound shop. It's called "Pound n" where n is a word.

Tip reorganisation

Leamington's Princes Drive Domestic Waste Recycling Centre (the tip), has had a rehaul.

The tipping area has been segregated into a series of large skips, for different kinds of waste.

Most notably, the paper banks have been replaced by one of these skips. It is considerably easier to empty a crate containing two months' worth of daily paper into a skip, than it was to stuff papers through the slots in the old paper banks.

Aunt May's Pasties: gone

"Aunt May's Pasties", on the Parade, is currently closed. The sign has been taken down, there are builders working on the interior. Either Aunt May has decided to redecorate, or some other business is moving in.

Cobbler closes

The cobbler on Regent Street has closed.

If you have work to collect, F. Hazell Smith next door will have it.

If you need to get any cobbling done in Leamington, there's still "Cobblers and Keys" on Court Street: "Think Old Town first".
