Grandad opens up

My grandad opens the shop on Market Street. The counter goes in that first week. It hasn't moved since.

Dad takes over

Thirty years of cutting keys, weighing nails and talking people out of buying things they don't need.

The daughters

Dad retires this spring and my sister and I take the keys. New name over the door. Same counter underneath.

The shop

Still behind the counter.

The hardware shop isn't going anywhere. Same stock, same advice, and you can still buy six screws instead of a box of two hundred.

The counter. Fitted in 1962, not moved since.
01

Nails & screws

Sold loose, by weight. Take ten or take a pound.

02

Keys cut

While you wait. Door, padlock and window keys, and most of the old ones too.

03

Period ironmongery

Latches, hinges and sash fittings that suit Wenford's older houses, and the conservation officer.

04

Paint & decorating

Heritage colours mixed to order. Brushes that outlast the job.

05

Fuel & garden

Paraffin, kindling, twine and seed potatoes in season.

06

Advice

Free. Usually right.

In the back room

Three new reasons to come in.

Dad's old stockroom is becoming a workshop. Here's what's moving in.

01 · Tool library

Borrow it. Don't buy it.

Why own a tile cutter you'll use twice? Members borrow from a shelf of decent tools, a week at a time, for one small fee a year.

Claw hammer with a borrowing tag
Mended teapot, mug of tea and a tube of glue
02 · Repair café

Once a month, bring it in.

Volunteer fixers, a pot of tea and whatever's broken: lamps, toasters, trousers, chairs. Stay and watch, and you'll know how next time.

First Saturday, 10–1Free
