This is the nearest shop to our house. It's a small convenience store selling food, snacks etc and is also an off licence. Handy if you need something and don't want to go into the town centre. It's only about 10 minutes walk, just go along Moorview way then straight down Shortbank road from our house. The shop is on your right after you go under the bridge.
