Cobblers And Keys On West Street

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Timpsons used to have a lot of repair shops, but thinking about it, you don’t even see shoe shops , selling new shoes, now do you ?

Yes, the Hillsborough branch isn't new. I emailed them about the staff in the West Street branch and got no reply.
