His son succeeded him in the business, which operated out of the building until at least 1940, but had ceased operation some time before J. W. Allison's death in 1945. [2] [3] [4] Advertising signage from the Allison business remains partially visible, though now obscured by the adjoining arcade. [5] [6]

By 1954, an estate agent was operating from the building. [7] The building was vacant in February 2017. [8]
