Set on a side street that has easy parking proved to be deserving of previous reviews of excellence. On entering this small store I became aware of the Tardis like place that it is, since my list contained electrical needs, glass replacement, glue, and brass brush to clean metal. All requirement were satisfied including advise.
A far better choice than a large departmental type store where you can never find help and have to walk miles to find what you need for a small project. If your a home owner this is the place to start for that thing that will silence the wife and earn you Boy Scout point!

This is one of those shops which is so handy its hard to explain. They’re officially a hardware shop and they’re tucked away in a residential street but they’re very very busy and rightly so. They sell everything you can think of that’s remotely hardware-​ish and although the prices are more than, say, the supermarket, they’re dead handy so you don’t mind. They’re reliably open, they have a lot of staff so can always serve you and advise you. They don’t mind you bobbing in just for advice, even when you don’t buy anything. There’s usually some kind of parking along the nearby streets so that’s not a problem. There’s a reassuring smell of hardware-​shop-​timber when you walk in — its defintely a man’s domain! Lovely.
