Looks like a private house. No sign outside, no window display. Weird. Obviously a previously undefined use of the word 'shop'.......

Check the date on your google street view. (May 2013?)
It is an art shop, we've walked past it loads of times. They usually have an easel outside.

These are the suppliers to the trade but also sell to the public:

Roughly, behind Habaneras pretty close to Torre water park.

Oh now that place looks interesting, well spotted. Ive had a drive round that area before looking for a different shop, its a rabbit warren.

baffled, doesnt look like a shop to me????



The photo is the correct building, but it must be an old shot before it was turned into a shop. I can assure you that it's still there - my wife goes to art classes there every week. Sean is the owner - it's open from 10am to 2pm every week day.
