Garden gnomes? Yup. Like I said, they have everything here and it is an exciting place to browse, as there are buckets upon buckets filled to the brim with knick knacks and hardware goods. So if you're feeling inspired and want to do some DIY around the house but have forgotten to buy that tiny screw driver for fiddly nails then this store is a good shout. When the weather permits many of the goods are displayed on the pavement just outside the shop. I came here a few months ago looking for some batteries and they had plenty of them and they weren't too pricey either. The shop owner was very friendly and asked if I needed any help. After that he got me my batteries quick smart and I was on my way satisfied that I could now put some juice in my camera and take some nice new pictures. A great little shop.

By 'this long' I mean, a considerable time; seen as the first thing my day said when I moved into the flat was - 'oh next to that door place? I remember passing that on my way to work in [something along the British Steel lines but not as old as that]..'. Needless to say, it's an institution for locals who have walked or bus-ed past in for years. However, I reckon it's success is really down to all those DIY enthusiasts, renovators and consumer loving individuals around. I don't know much about doors but the staff were super friendly, very knowledgeable and just genuinely lovely. So, if you need a door then this is definitely somewhere you should visit. If you don't buy one here (God forbid) then at least you'll pick up some jargon and have an idea or what kind of price you should expect to get elsewhere.
