It’s farewell of a sorts to children’s clothes shop and hairdresser Knock Down Ginger which, just short of its third birthday, is going online only. It’s a shame for the Snaresbrook end of the high street, but owner Rina is offering 50% off shoes this weekend and is definitely still in business and in contact through Twitter and Facebook.

That’s sad. Perhaps we could have a Lettings agency or a charity shop in its place? The high street is crying out for them.

I guess thats what happens when all you sell is overpriced…

very sad to hear this – it is a lovely, original shop and Wanstead needs these independent shops to keep the high street interesting – it seems the leap from the traffic lights across the road to ‘snaresbrook’ is too far for many. If it had been on the ‘high street’ it would have been visited much more I am sure. We will miss our shoe shopping and hair appointments.
