corner shop?

Is a 'corner shop' the same as a general store? Meaning a small universal shop in a village? I need it to be in a city, so maybe the meaning is different? Thanks, Lidia

stroke

I can't tell if it means time or illness in: on the third stroke it will be uncertain I see in time it comes with 'at' not 'on'. Is that significant? Lidia

peter ackroyd, the diversions of purley (john horne tooke)

Is 'diversions' in this title synonymous to 'amusement'? The amusements one can find in purley? Why did Ackroyd repeat Tooke's title, I wonder? What significance can it have had for him?
