  THe Former Post Office in Bench Street is at this moment being turned into an Upcycling Store/Swap Shop for a 3 month period. DAD (Dover Arts Development) and Dover Pride are opening the store from the end of October where it will become a hub for Upcycling where you can discover locally produced upcycled items and lots more ...

  sounds interesting, anything that brings a building back into use must be a good thing.

  I spoke to the Lady who was in there, at the beginning of the week and she was one of the artists commissioned by Dover Pride.
  
  They are working hard decorating it at the moment and should be ready very very soon.
  
  I did wish her and the project well.
