The numbering is a little curious here.

The first building, which seems to be residential now, is number 14 and Mortgage Force is 16. DnR Vinyl is number 18 according to their website and this would make sense, but the door actually says 18B.

18A was once Kings Fish Bar and this number appears in a planning application for conversion to flats. These flats actually have number 18 on one of the doors and 18A on the other. The next former shop being converted to flats has numbers 20 and 20B on the doors which is again in the same planning application as number 20. Presumably the application met with some success given the conversions are underway.

Number 20A was the Polka Continental Restaurant and is now another closed restaurant called East Is West or something like that.

Number 22 is a boarded up shop with the name Fisher and is another that appears in the planning application for conversion.

That leaves Music Bassx at the end of the parade next to Jewson's yard. This appears as number 22 in the Royal Mail database and 22B in some listings but has 22A on the door which makes more sense.

Presumably there must have been some double fronted shops here once upon a time as it doesn't make a lot of sense to have the 'A' suffix on the shops otherwise.
