We have a similar (but smaller) shop where I live, and I do hope it is able to survive. They really do have everything!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-40551988174801822902013-06-29T21:44:40.472+01:002013-06-29T21:44:40.472+01:00Our local hardware store is small and doesn't ...Our local hardware store is small and doesn't carry nearly the range of Dentons, but will order almost anything for you from their huge range of catalogues. <br />Unfortunately the shop is for sale and I do so hope that someone buys it and keeps it going. The next nearest hardware shop is 17 miles away and our nearest B&Q is 32 miles away. One of the things you have to take into account before moving to this part of North Wales!Dobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900594495652477887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-66257792473081468472013-06-29T20:25:36.480+01:002013-06-29T20:25:36.480+01:00We have a shop just like that in the nearest town...We have a shop just like that in the nearest town to us, it is amazing what they stock. If you just want a couple of nails or 1 sheet of sandpaper, that's fine, nothing is too small and doesn't come as a multi- pack. Also, if they didn't stock it, they would order it for you and phone you when it had arrived, that's customer service. Such a shame when they close.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057764572761794703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-12751767629253805952013-06-29T18:29:52.927+01:002013-06-29T18:29:52.927+01:00It's sad when shops like this close.

It looked very much like these photos but no longer sold paraffin.<br />Locals always used to say that if you couldn't get it there you wouldn't get it anywhere.

It's shops like this that give a place some character, not the out of town shopping centres that are the same wherever you go. It will be missed once it's gone - a bit like the ice-cream shop on the corner of my street which is now just a house but older residents still talk of Maury's ice-cream! <br />A nice little post with a glimpse of Chippenham - thank you NAH!
