This shop is owned by a sweet and lovely man who looks like he stepped right out of 1960... he'll help you to find anything you're after, and direct you around the haphazard piles and racks that are scattered everywhere. Strawberry Fields is a treasure-trove -- there is NO organisation whatsoever and you have to literally dig through everything to find what you're after. This isn't everyone's cup of tea but I LOVE it and relish the chance to find something genuinely unique. The prices are tiny too. Absolutely awesome, the best thing about Carlisle!

They gave her the fixed bracelet back in a packet and when she got home she noticed that they hadn't included the original broken gold padlock in the package. When she went back , they were dismissive of her and said she should have asked for it back at the time. They were rude and refused to give her her gold back. She was really upset with her treatment and having lost something that was given to her by her late husband. I try to avoid people and businesses like this in my life and would recommend you do the same.
