Old Marks and Spencer to become Poundworld?

[gilbert grape]

I'd just like people to know the difference between Doxey & Castletown. It ain't hard - there's a railway line and a bridge that cuts 'em right in two!


Back on thread - Will that be the biggest poundworld, around?

The border post seems not to be on the bridge.

Is there a No-Man's-Land..?

1. As there's nothing there apart from the Bridge, I'd say that's where it starts and finishes, though Rosewood Gardens and Timberfield are the newest non-Doxey bit.

2. Cannock!

No, that's a rumoured to be a 99p store (which is owned by the same people as Poundland

So what was Haughtons is now a 'max 99p' store - nothing very exciting but good to see a new store in town.
