One of my colleagues left work early this evening - she lives above Shepherds Coffee Shop, and was a little bit worried that the entire front of the building was about to come crashing down!
Apparently, someone parked outside the baker's on Castle Street without putting their handbrake on, and the car rolled down the hill, gathering speed as it went, until it came to rest fairly violently across the doorway of Shepherds, making quite a mess of the lovely curved window and the wooden facings. One report was that there were customers sitting in the window of Shepherds at the time of the accident, which must have been pretty alarming.
When I passed about ten minutes ago, the police were there, and the car was sitting where it had come to rest with police tape - and debris - all round it.

Looks like the idiot who didn't put their handbrake on has just spent rather a lot of money then. I hope they can restore the frontage of Shepherds. It must be quite an age with it's curved glass etc.
Lucky the car owner isn't up for manslaughter. Doesn't bear thinking about what could've happened if the car had hit someone.
that's interesting I thought perhaps that they'd branched out into a drive through service.
Thanks God that none of the captains of industry who spend half their day posing in the window was injured. How would the Town survive without their industry
What is the matter with people, isn't it marvelous that no one was hurt and who hasn't left their hand brake off, I certainly have! Deb Clark
who are the captains of industry???
