This is the Uhuru Wholefoods independent health food shop. These days the shop is a family concern run by Annette and her relatives who live above the shop. However, Uhuru started in the 1970s as a co-operative and was an active hub of local activism at its original location over the road at number [[35]]. See the page for number [[35]] for more on the organization's rich history.
== Before 1974 ==
Annette reports that the shop stood empty for a time before Uhuru moved in. Before that, it was apparently a wool shop. She believes the building was originally a private house.
