Opening shortly according to the notice. The building on the corner of Campania Street and Oldham Road looks as if it was originally a chapel. Streetview imagery shows it was Ananda's Bridal Company in 2008. In 2012 it was "Mobile and Computer World" which by 2017 had morphed into "Dream PC". By 2018 it was boarded up. Mid 2019-2020 it was "Rawsome Pets". 2021 sees it all shuttered up.
