Unused outdoor public space. This may be due to post-pandemic where people are used to staying indoors, or the fact that this space is located next to a noisy road, which people may prefer to relax in quieter areas.

This suggests that UK high streets may be turning more international. Setting up Chinese advertisements shows that there may be increasingly more foreign property buyers visiting this high street.

The wide variety of services offered suggests that these may be family-run businesses. Whilst the upper levels may be used for residential purposes, the lower floors are used mostly for retail purposes (extension of the facade) to accommodate the needs from the local community. The services offered should constantly be adapted to prevent the death of more high streets.

A row of abandoned buildings for unknown reasons, it is speculated that the reason for abandonment may be the impact of post-epidemic consumption downgrade and poor management of the building itself.
