flantastico   10 #1 Posted December 11, 2021 I went to Cobblers and Keys last week to get some boots resoled and found it gone. Anybody know where the staff went? There was one bloke in particular who always did a superb job and could resole anything, even boots with nailed soles.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jim117   72 #3 Posted December 12, 2021 I remember that place. Used to buy studs for our leather bike jackets from there back in the 80’s, they were cheaper than Impulse records which was the only other supplier we knew of. Also bought my first Zippo petrol lighter from them. Proper old school shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
