Hi!

7 years ago there used to be a vintage shop at the corner of one of the street crossing North crossed road. they closed down around jan/feb 2015

I think thry went online. If youknow them could you let me know if they are online? Their name maybe?

I bought Japanese whistles from the 50s from them.

Not sure but you could probably work it out using Google Street View.


If you're viewing on a PC / laptop browser, if you go to North Cross Road on Street View you can press 'See more dates' in the top right corner and choose a date around 2015. So you can figure out which shops were active at that time.

If memory serves, the shop wasn't right on the corner, it was a short way down the street on the left hand side if you are coming from North Cross Road.


I'm pretty sure it was in Fellbrigg Road. It definitely wasn't Ulverscroft Road, and there aren't any other roads on that side (I'm sure it was on that side. I bought several things there).


I knew the people's names at the time, but I can't remember them now. Sorry, I realise that's no help at all. Unless they miraculously come back to me!


I don't think they went online, as they sold off all their stock when they gave up the premises. They were giving it away by the end.

    • Hi ED, I live on Landcroft road, and from the windows of the back of the property you can hear a whistling noise in the area (sounds like a faulty boiler but louder) occurring every 5-10 minutes for a few seconds. It has been happening for the past week at least. It does not seem to come from the immediate homes around. Does anyone know what this is or where it is coming from? Thanks!
    • Another strong endorsement for Niko! He installed a new tap and fixed a leaky radiator at mine this week and I couldn't be happier. To top it off, he's friendly, honest and really goes the extra mile. Give him a call.
    • Dave was a lovely guy and did a great job - came back later to tweak a few things as well for free as well - would definitely recommend  His number: 07867 974124
    • Last year I ordered a coffee grinder as a Christmas present, to be sent to a friend in a Greece. The order was made in mid-November. Unfortunately, the retailer sent it by UPS. There started a grindingly frustrating two months of being caught in the Möbius Loop of UPS bureaucracy and incompetence. They kept claiming that the address couldn’t be found and despite having two telephone numbers, not once did they phone the recipient. Then I changed the delivery to an estate agent’s office in the nearby main village, situated on the main street with clear address, telephone numbers  and signs. Again, they claimed not to be able to find the address, which was farcical. Yet again, they made no attempt to phone to check. Eventually, the parcel was delivered at the end of January and yes, a vital part was broken. It was clear that the parcel was lying around in a depot and was chucked in a corner to be covered with other boxes and packets. When I tried to claim the cost of replacing the broken part, they indulged in the sort of passive aggressive stalling that corporate behemoths like them are so good at. Eventually I gave up and took the spare part with me when visiting. I have to say that they are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, along with Scottish Power. I wouldn’t trust them to deliver anything and make sure I tell anyone who wants to listen that they should avoid them like the plague!
