Irwin’s Medical Hall

One of two pharmacies in Dunmurry, it really begs the question (or rather, questions)…
1) Why are these two pharmacies so close together, separated only by a few shops?
2) Why is it called Irwin’s Medical Hall?
I think I have the answer to both. Bear with me.
In answer to the first question, both pharmacies are very different. Irwin’s is a much more traditional chemist, with cleaning products, a wider range of toiletries, and shelves filled with little bargainous goodies. Kingsway is a bit more like a discount pharmacy, but I’ll let you read the review on it.
In answer to the second, it’s long, narrow and, well, hall-​like really. Clever, huh? I thought so.*
Picked up a couple of packets of makeup wipes (99p, but they’re good… honestly), whilst my sister decided to nearly wreck the whole shop while hoking through a pile of makeup. The sales lady and I had a wee joke about it, and we escaped before the sis did any more damage.
*Ps. I know it doesn’t explain the Irwin’s bit. That’s beside the point.
