Former Nuneaton beauty salon taken over by very different business

A former Nuneaton beauty salon has been given very different future - as a record shop. For almost a decade Beauty and Co was based on Church Road.

The salon closed but a new business has opened up in the building, which is located opposite the Lamb and Flag pub. Reaper Records, according to its Link Tree page, is 'bringing vinyl back from the dead'.

The independent store officially opened at the weekend and prides itself on buying and selling vinyl records and music memorabilia. The store is the new 'HQ' for the business, which also sells and buys on Instagram, eBay and Link Tree.

Nuneaton is no stranger to playing home to independent record stores. For years, generations shopped in What Records in the town centre.

It was first opened near to the Old Co-op and then moved to the Abbeygate Shopping Centre. It remained there until the doors were finally closed in 2006.

But the town centre still does have another independent record shop, Music is the Answer, which is based in Queens Road.
