The former Maplin store in #Nuneaton.

This has been a pub ('Peacock Inn'), a Topshop / Topman store, a Burton menswear store, and Maplin.

Once it closed as Maplin, the Loungers' Piero Lounge opened here in November 2019.

The original sign for the Peacock Inn has also since been uncovered!

Starbucks, Market Place, #Nuneaton.

Starbucks first joined Nuneaton town centre in June 2007 until October 2009; they then opened a drive-thru at Nuneaton's Bermuda Leisure Park in 2018.

Their current premises are inside of a Grade II listed former Barclays bank; it opened last March.

Ryman in Castle Street, Hinckley.

As far as I've been able to find from my research, around 1904, this was a shop called Harrisons.

Since then, it has been a fruit and veg shop - and before it sold stationery, it was a Dixons store in the 80s!

The shopfront was recently updated.

The Clarence in #Hinckley.

This occupies the former Yorkshire Bank; it is named 'The Clarence' after the building itself - 'Clarence Building'.

Yorkshire Bank moved out in June 2017, and The Clarence have occupied it since December 2022.

The building's original bank vault has also been retained!

Odeon Luxe at Nuneaton's Bermuda Leisure Park.

It first opened in May 1999 as an ABC Cinema, later becoming an Odeon in February 2000. The "Luxe" branding was introduced following a refurbishment in December 2019.

During the coronavirus pandemic, it was temporarily used as a vaccination site.

The sooner you do the shopping, the sooner you'll have the peace of mind knowing it is done!

And remember to get an advent calendar! There are all sorts of novelty (or regular) ones around at this time!

But this time of year has approached so quick, I honestly can't believe it!
