This is Rick's Café
1989-2000s
This was the Futon shop, established 1989 [1]. A photo of the shop after it closed can be seen here: https://flic.kr/p/gqQmZP
A photo of these premises "from June 1999" shows that it was once the Trident Discount Centre, along with Nos 88 and 86. This bargain shop caused controversy by opening on Sundays. However Thomsons Directory 1984 has Trident Superstore at No 86, while Thomsons Directory 1995 has Futons Better Made Stylish Unique Furniture at No 90 so the correct date of the photo is probably 1980s.[2]
