Reviews
Nice place to pop in and brouse around at all the old and interesting items some of us actually remember and even used in our younger days and the people looking after them are doing a wonderful job and the two we met were very friendly and helpful and thanked my husband graciously for his donation.
A proper hidden gem. Have walked past many times and never ventured inside. Well worth a visit. Just asking for donations currently rather than charge and ran by volunteers. Definitely support this brilliant local place
