D L Carter & Son

Carters is a small chemist in South shields, this particular branch is on Fowler street but I think they have other branches too elsewhere in the town. I often go here to pick up prescriptions after going to the doctor’s at the new Flagg court medical centre. The only thing that is offputting about this chemist is its location — there is hardly any free parking nearby. All the carparks are expensive behind the chemist, and there are some shortstay free parking bays but there are lots of parking attendants around ready to pounce if you overstay by a second or five!!! Anyway the shop itself is quite small but sells cosmetics and other health and beauty stuff as well as taking prescriptions. Nice old fashioned feel to the place unlike some of the large chain store-​type chemists.
