Some sort of temporary soup kitchen type centre for the winter months ahead.
Doubt anyone will be thinking about setting up any kind of permanent business at this time of the year so would be doing the owners a favour by keeping it aired.

A micro-pub named foggys.....

Some sort of sporting shop, maybe selling guns and fishing tackle?

Bring back anarchy!

A charity shop, to give that area a bit of a lift.

Not Gilbert's?

 

[Feed The Goat]

I hear DeBeers, the international diamond dealers are interested in that unit.

If not maybe a 99p shop.

Maybe the son of Mr Bates will reopen it but call it Master Bates instead.
