Streetview imagery shows the corner shop vacant and shuttered in 2009.  By 2011 it had became the Mirage Café with the Greek takeaway    Yamas next door.  By 2020 the corner premises had become Yassou a licensed Greek Café and Restaurant. In 2021 part of the building is open as Tom & Jerries offering milk shakes, desserts &c. In 2023 Yamas   moved into Tom & Jerries and the former Yamas is now occupied by an Indian takeaway called Megna Spice. Now  Yassou has gone and been replaced by the Kurdis(h) Airlines Barber Shop.
