Shops in Caddington

The main Parade of shops in Caddington are in Manor Road. The village green is across the road from the shops.

Note that there is a smaller parade of shops in Elm Avenue (electrician, antique shop, newsagent and hairdresser - see below) and another pub ("The Chequers") the opposite side of the village green from the shops.

Manor Road Shops

To show what some of the Manor Road shops look like, here are some photographs, working away from Dunstable Road.

This is the remaining Estate Agency in the village. Open 9-6 Mon-Fri, 9-5 on Sat and 10-3 on Sunday.
Next door is the florist, "The Wild Bunch". Open 9.15 - 5.30 Mon- Fir and 9-1 on Sat.
The main hairdressers is "The Cutting Crew". (The other hairdressers is in Elm Avenue.)
Caddington Convenience Store is the main newsagency and Post Office. The other newsagency is in Elm Avenue.
Cafe #7 has replaced the music shop which previously occupied this unit.
Across an access way is the Co-op, the only surviving general grocers in the village.
Skyfrys is the Fish & Chip shop.
Dale Evans Beauty is the latest shop to open, in the unit which was previously the Estate Agency.
Next to the beauty shop is the place to have your books made beautiful!
And next along is the pet shop.
Up in the corner lurks the local builders' offices.
"Spice of Caddington" replaced the "Happy Shopper" grocers and seems to have a good reputation.

To the left of the Indian Restaurant is a pub (The Cricketers), a pharmacy (they used to be called "chemists" when I was young!) and the doctors surgery. Opposite the doctors is a collection of car sales and car care businesses.
