It was one of those wet days on Beech Road and the inside of 97 seemed very inviting.*
I am old enough to remember when it was a fabric shop which was the go to place for zips, buttons, patterns, and heaps more.
Later it had a flirtation as a second hand shop, before settling down and embracing the bar culture.
And now it is the place for a brand new venture from the owner of the Lead Station which mixes "some high-end drinks and a nod to nostalgia".*
