The Strange Shoe Repairers Shop, North Wales- September 2013

I like the look of that, reminds me of similar little shoe repair shops that were dotted around here at one time.

Looks like someone still does the odd bit of work in there! interesting looking hanging clock outside.Thanks for sharing.

Nice!! Get in get in please I want to see more

very cool photos

cobblers !

Photo Number 5 is of a Singer 29K, though fitted with a hand side wheel the leather drive belt means it has it's foot treadle too! It's a "leather patcher" sewing machine that is still the first choice for many a cobbler or leather worker and can still be found in use in may such working environments . . . I still miss mine having foolishly "upgraded" to a bigger, power operated "walking foot".

Please be careful who you mention this place too . . . lest it goes for the weight of it's cast iron . . . one day somebody may yet get the chance to use that old machine.

liking that lots
