Some excellent news which won't come as any surprise for those readers resident on Askew Road, this shop that went into administration, is now on the verge of opening its doors again. The man in charge of the shop who faced redundancy and getting rid of all his staff has bought the shop from the administrators and is opening a new independent retailer called Askew Wine. And here it is in all its glory.
Let's hope for more of the same soon.

Couldnt agree more
