LUXURY outdoor terraces and dozens of tables on car parks have been set up as revellers prepare to return to pubs for their first pint in months. All non-essential shops will be able to reopen to the public from Monday while pubs and restaurants will be able to serve food and drink to customers outdoors. At the Roslin Beach Hotel, in Thorpe Bay, it is all hands on deck in preparation with a new outdoor terrace ready, while the Shoebury Hotel has a new terrace and space for 70 punters on its car park. But the move has left the pub industry divided with both Southend’s Last Post and the Dickens Pub in Southend forced to stay closed due to a lack of space.

The history of Knob Hill Farms in Toronto
The lasting legacy of Knob Hill Farms might be their popular
shopping laundry baskets, but they deserve more recognition for pioneering the very first big-box stores to Toronto.
Created in 1951 by Macedonian immigrant Steve Stavro, Knob Hills Farms got its name from something Stavro had seen stenciled on the side of a box of produce from California.
The rise of Knob Hill Farms
Stavro was a true man of the people who believed in low prices and high quality for the working class.
As part of this underserved community, Stavro shared many of the same traits as Toronto’s Ed Mirvish (indeed, Stavro was often described as the Honest Ed of local grocers).
Mrs O Dwyer said: Mike and myself ran the shop together while raising our children. Sadly Derrick passed away in April 2011 aged 86, and in 2014 Mike was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
