Hi Gang;
This is the village shop (store) which is typical of thousands located in villages through England, Scotland & Wales. Basically they sell everything from newspapers through groceriers to hardware.

Note the traditional red Telephone Box - rare these days, the government changed 99% of them for modern plastic boxes.
Cheers David
