F Strowger & Co

very handy local shop, he cut me keys in two seconds flat, 2.50 a key, bargain and i have bought various bits and bobs over the years, cheaper than b&Q for alot of things, good local asset

One of that rare breed, an old fashioned ironmongers where you go up to a counter & ask the proprieter for what you want, he then disappears & rummages about in an alladins cave of musty old wooden drawers, or maybe up a ladder, or even into the deepest bowels of the shop, to return triumphantly with said article.
This small shop has hardly changed;from the front windows to the interior floor. A real gem.
If you live locally, come here first to buy your diy requirements & support this precious local business.
Please resist the temptation of going to the B&Q up the road to save a few pennies, though surprisingly enough i have found some things alot cheaper here, but even if they weren’t, i still rather give my hard earned pennies to mr Strowger than to the inhuman depersonalisation, of faceless chain-​store criminality.
