The Dairy Shop. A covered passage between a two storey two bay house and linked to T C Video by a covered entry with heavy old beams reused above it. The walls of the building are obviously of considerable thickness, as shown by the heavy cast iron pillars within the shop front, inserted to carry the weight of the wall above.
