The woes of the high street are well recorded - but it is the business cornerstones of ages gone by which are making a comeback during the pandemic.
Butchers, bakers and indeed candlestick makers, have all reported a boom in lockdown, with demand increasing by as much as 10 times.
The driver, they say, is shoppers spending more time to think about where their money is going and the products they are consuming.
This has been a major trend at Archer s Butchers which has been in operation since 1929, but has seen some of its busiest months during lockdown.
