Tucked
away in the beautiful and often forgotten
county of Herefordshire dwells an Aladdin's
Cave of marvellous antique barometers and
clocks. This unique display is the largest
to be found in the U.K. Each item is guaranteed,
having been expertly restored in their own
workshops by a very talented team of craftsmen. |
Managing Director, Richard Cookson, has been involved
in antiques since his teens, opening his first shop
in Stourbridge at the age of 21. In 1974 Richard
decided to specialize in barometers, and so The
Barometer Shop was founded.
At this most unusual emporium they repair and restore
all types of barometers and clocks and their friendly
staff are more than happy to spend as much time
with people who just want to browse as they would
with someone wishing to buy one of the antique treasures.
| A
further service was added last year when Trouble
Shooter Sir John Harvey-Jones "cut the
ribbon" to open The Restoration Shop,
this is rather like a small museum but all
the items are for sale. Treasures as diverse
as a two man operated Fire Engine and a Wine
Bottle Corking Machine mingle with vintage
car parts. Their boast is "WE CAN RESTORE
(almost) ANYTHING" |
