What new shop in hillsborough?


Recommended Posts

There has been a bike shop in Hillsborough on Catch Bar lane for over 50 years.

Still going strong selling and servicing bikes. Was originally owned by Bert Beech

I think it is now Butterworth Cycles. Much nearer Hillsborough than Langsett Cycles.

 

Yeah. Have you ever been in? Asked them for a quote? Don't bother.

Another...? With exception of the hardware and garden centre all of the other shops are there. A bakery continental style would have my vote.

 

Absolutely another. Just because Hillsborough has (eg) a craft shop, doesn't mean it's good for craft shops.It means there is one mediocre craft shop. Ever heard of clustering? If there were more of a certain type of shop, it'd attract people who shop for craft supplies to the area, and drive up demand, and competition, and standards. And it'd bring business to the area.

 

So, yeah. More independent shops, please.

I think Hillsborough is missing a cash for gold shop, possibly a pound shop, or even a cheap 'bargains' type shop.

 

There's a poundland in Hillsborough Barracks

Yes have been in many times for spares, have always been capable of carrying

out repairs myself so never needed a quote. Prices always seemed to compare

with other shops I have used.

I'd like to see a Sports direct or something similar. There's nowhere to my knowledge round the area that sells sport equipment.

 

There is DB Sport on Holme Lane Who supply team shirts, shorts, etc

If this is any use to you.

Didn't know about them, thanks.

 

However, this isn't rally ideal. Looking for somewhere where I can pick up a football or a few tennis rackets and maybe just some simple jogging gear.
