ibbo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I have tried all of these but there is none of them that beats Richardsons at Firth Park. Pauline Richardson and her brother have been there over 40 years taking over from their father who ran it when I was little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelleyis Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sadly, this shop will be closing down in a week or 2. Her son, who took it over has sold a lot of the stuff that was left when she died, but is now going. Apparently it is going to be another beauty parlour. It may be a beauty parlour now but lo! A young couple have opened up a 'new improved' hardware shop just next door! Yeay! Called Sharrow Vale Hardware no less. Great to have one back on the block and with an Eco touch too. V. competitive prices too compared to B&Q! Let's support 'em eh? Good luck guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelleyis Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yup, I cudn't remember what it was before but now you mention it...I do believe it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scimdaz Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I guess the originator has bought what they want by now but another worthy of mention is Shaws' on Duchess Rd (opp. old ice rink/B&Q on Queens Rd). More "good old-fashioned ironmongers" than hardware, but for nails, screws, bolts, tools, chains, padlocks.....you get the drift.....unbeatable. Always a queue of tradesmen (good sign imho) and staff that know what they are selling and how you should use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelleyis Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 / I guess the originator has bought what they want by now. I hope I don't come across as rude but just wanted to add - Even if the originator has bought what they need by now I often use the Forum to find recommendations, as someone has invariably asked the same question I am pondering before (no matter how long ago...well, within reason I suppose) and it's good to look through the posts to pick out the good guys from the cowboys and find local suppliers. 9/10 I manage to find a good one thanks to the Forum.
