Customer Reviews
Many moons ago I first stepped into this shop and the okder man was so kind to me, he had exactly what I went in for shops like these are hard to cone by. Long gone are the days when you would need such items only to find they aren't available in small-town shops this is that shop. If they can't find it they will advise you where to find it.
I could not believe this shop. J.Banks ironmongers has a museum with many unique items in an unfussy setting. The staff are fantastic and couldn't be friendly. I only went in for a wingnut.
An amazing ironmongery with charm and history, the museum is a precious step back in time, the staff were very helpful and it was a pleasure to be looked after, well worth the visit 😊
