Our local pub has had to close except for takeaways, but they've also opened a shop for a few days each week.
When we moved here in 1977, (The Moor end of the village, not the top end, known as Highgate, a mile away), there were three grocers, (one with an off-licence, a clothes department and haberdashers), a post office, a huge ironmongers and garden implements place, a butcher, a DIY place, a TV repair shop, a jewellers, a hairdressers, two pubs, a dairy and a couple of farm shops a mile or so away.
Now we have just one pub, and a wine shop, so the small retail part of the pub makes all the difference to oldies like us, who just want a pint of milk and some decent cheese with some superb local rolls!
That's what Covid has done to our end of the village, although I still have to brave the small supermarkets and chemist we have at the top, but most folk are being pretty careful these days...
