One of the small shops next to Booth Books has just re-opened as an Honesty Bookshop - there's a box on the wall to put money in, and all books are £1.
The flower shop next door is still empty.
When I went inside, I saw that the wall to the left of the picture has been stripped back to the bricks and timber framing - and there are very clear carpenters' marks on the wood. This was done so it was easy to slot the pieces of timber together - just like medieval IKEA!
These two small shops were built between two older buildings, so the wall with the carpenters' marks was originally an outdoor wall:
as you can see here.
