There have been several, sometimes at the same time. Jessops had their collectibles shop there, but it closed down a 2 or 3 years ago, which was a great shame. It stocked some great stuff, including quite rare film stock. There was also a Leica-oriented shop which also took in some of the older and rarer Nikon, Contax, Canon stuff, especially rangefinders. At one time they had George Rodger's camera bag with several of his cameras and lenses and associated paraphernalia in a special display - wonderful to see. I don't know what became of them after the shop closed down, but according to one of the people who worked there the shop was a rich man's hobby rather than a strict commercial enterprise, so perhaps he kept them.
