This was what 459 Green Lanes looked like till a few days ago. That was until off-licence Deniz next door closed down. Then within a couple of days with the fleetest of commercial adjustments, today it looks like this:

Beautiful.... Zzzzzzzzzzzz. On a separate note I wonder if the floor at Deniz could get listed status?

I mentioned the floor to new lessee Emre today and his response suggested that at least it's protected in the lease.

Anything but orange. Blight on the High Road, everywhere.  If it's meant to catch the eye, it fails because there is so much of it everywhere.

I have to say that the area would look so much better if the shopkeepers were not allowed to chose anything from their shop front signage ideas list.

It's not you Pav: it's the shop owner who has a visual arts impairment.

They catch my eye so much I have to look away.   Primary colours are for babies (and I'm not even sure of that).

A car crash at a local solicitors I know catches my eye. But it doesn't mean it like to see it. The sign is effing ugly, but will no doubt fit in quite well along the lanes.

Now here's a nice restrained High Street

I'm not a great fan of pedstrianised high streets. Traffic control by all means, but not total pedestrianisation.

Plenty more shops in Stamford are on trafficked streets; it's not like (say) Waltham Abbey which is completely skirted by the road system.

Well spotted Gordon

The point of the pictures is the lack of tasteless in-your-face fluorescent colours. The pedestrianisation is irrelevant.
