In Old Town, though, we have a very strange High Street. A High Street with no "High Street stores". Not even a High Street bank (though I might have a rant about that on another occasion). Old Town - distinguished with the CV31 postcode - is unique. A collection of shops, offices, workshops, mostly run by independent traders, all doing what they think is going to be best for their customers, and therefore for their business. North of the river is the land of the Store Manager, doing what they're told by Head Office. It doesn't matter how much they understand their customers and what they want, they're never going to be allowed to do it their way.
