Two businesses in one premises on the Beersbridge Road: Paddy Baird's Assemble bakery and Jason Hawthorne's First Press Vinyl, which deals specifically in early pressings - first prints of the Beatles and Radiohead through to records by people nobody has heard of yet. It opened in December 2023 and the two halves genuinely work as one room rather than a counter rented out: coffee and buns on one side, punk playing on the other, and a free records box by the door
