The Betting shop was first swwn in the early 1990's when the un-seen Mr Skinner owned it. Mr Skinner ran it with Des Barnes. In 2007 new owners Harry and Danny Mason bought the bookmakers and re-decorated the flat upstairs, in late 2008, Harry left the premises to his son Danny, Dany couldn't be bothered with the bookies and put it up for sale. Peter Barlow was the first to put in an offer, with the money his deceased wife had left him, Peter and his son Simon moved in. In May 2009 Peter inadvertantly set fire to the flat with him and Simon inside. The flat and bookies was completely re-furbished, and Peter vowed to give up the drink for Simon's sake.
