shaash Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Does anyone know why Parkers Jewellers is still closed? I haven't been on Hillsborough since before lockdown but my Husband says its still closed. I hope the staff and the owner are OK as I've gone in there years and got to know them well.

Vaati Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) There is a sign on the shop window. They are moving to an online store only and will not be re-opening the shop. Anyone who has repairs with them should contact the shop for an appointment to pick it up. They will no longer do repairs.

sheffandy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 That is a real shame.. can't be many places where your watch is placed in a tray and manually pulled upstairs for repair by the "elves" above on the 1st floor. Sorry to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmiss Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Real shame- they’ve been there as long as I remember and we’re always the go to trusted place for jewellery repairs. The bus queue outside was always a hindrance to perusing the shop windows and access to the wonderful old fashioned shop and service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander874 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I remember it as a child and that's over 70 years ago and they also had a men's wear shop next door I think that closed in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Liz, good luck and best wishes for the future to you and all Parkers staff. I bought a vintage watch from you a while ago which I'm delighted with - will Parkers still carry out routine future service work on watches they sold?
