They also have a good range of sweets and that is definitely popular with the local school children who can be seen picking out a selection of the sort of sweets that used to cost one penny each but are a bit dearer now. The shop also has a good display of greetings card. You can pay to top up your electric key here and pay for other utilities. I always find the window the most interesting part of the shop as it carries postcards and posters with information of local clubs and activities, items for sale and small businesses, builders decorators and that type of thing. There is a car park which is also handy.

I often come in here during the week, but it is not a good idea to come in here on a Saturday or Christmas shopping as the queues are really really long, noticably longer than other shops.

If the books aren't there-they'll get them there almost by tomorrow and will always recommend titles. The big down side is the step flight of stairs up to the shop ,situated as it is above the main street premises of another retailer. But this is the result of the burden of business rate-still almost too much for a small shop like this to carry. So please support them!!!

Full of the latest CDs and books, along with plenty of childrens supplies and some lovely bibles. It's a small shop, but if you want something Christian, this is the place to buy it!

Well, this shop has many imported resources, to save you the hassle of buying from abroad and worrying about import rates and long delivery.
