Yet another betting shop has appeared on one of Britain’s high streets, full of screwed-up betting slips, little pens, newspaper racecards and discarded sweet wrappers. A pile of unopened post suggests the place has been abandoned.
So far, so depressing. But this bookie’s in Sunderland is different. Titled Ghost Shop, it is remarkable because everything down to the sticky carpet tiles, fire extinguishers and CCTV cameras has been made from glass.
