I'll edit this message later so i show the rest of the before and afters.

This community center was converted into a takeaway in 2014.

This takeaway was converted into a storage room for this nearby supermarket in 2016.

A video store, now converted into a wine bar.

The laundrette has been converted into, well, you guessed it. A takeaway.

For some unknown reason, this former newsagents has been converted into a dental repair center, although its useless to have it in front of a dentist across the road.

This was a party store, then had a short run as your odd device repair shop, closed down, and is now a letting agency.

Since leaving the U.S. around nearly three weeks ago, i'm starting to revert to British slang.

I should've said takeout.

The pharmacy here was previously the site of a care home, but the sign appears to be for a training center. (Notice what appears to be a Thorn Beta 2 on the side of the building)

It was later converted into a pharmacy, the pharmacy closed down in late 2017 and was demolished earlier this year, it is now having houses built on the site. (Notice the construction of new homes commencing on the right)

if the cost of operation exceeds the intake of money, then I don't see a reason to keep it open..
