Derelict Thursday

This is my entry for Sarum Stroller's Thursday challenge. Southbourne is quite a thriving small shopping centre, but this bakery and 'Tea Shoppe' has been closed for as long as I can remember. I guess it just couldn't compete with another bakery a little further along the road which has a first-class reputation.

The bakery is almost at the end of the shopping centre, but I'm surprised that nobody has taken it on - not even a charity shop. What distresses me when I walk by is that all the original bakery equipment has been left in there to moulder - even a partially used container of cooking oil.
