Clark has closed. You could get all sorts of well-made quality gear in there – all sorts. I’ve been doing upcycling and salvaging furniture for years now, and wanted yet more large ‘wheelie bin’ wheels for a shelving system that Ikea junk can’t cope with.. Where now for no-nonsense service, and on the high street too? Gutted.

I remember being sent there with a list to get some nails and screws, and being given a biscuit while I was waiting! That must have been in 1954. Valerie

It is always a treat to be allowed see these sorts of family archives.
