The useful and cheap junk shop a few metres west of Hackney Downs station in Dalston Lane closed today. Its owner, whom I knew only as Mr Besz, has retired.

Yes, I’ve been watching the planning applications. (Life at the edge, eh?) Will re-look into junk; ta.
In case you didn’t know, the shop is on it’s way to becoming a Tesco Express. However, the junk shop seems to have reappeared in the smaller unit next door.
