Italia Lighting has been in Heswall for years, it looks really stunning from the outside and is a bit of a grotto/department store on the inside.
They do what they say on the tin, selling a huge selection of lighting appliances, from chandeliers to lampshades to fairly lights to halogen lights etc etc.
They also sell bits and bobs of furniture and they have lots of sales throughout the year for the locals to go in and pick up a bargain. They're managing to survive the recession up to now, which I guess is great given that many people are cutting back on lavish spending.
It's also surprising that an independent store survives, with the likes of Rapid, Taskers and B and Q being within a 20 minute drive. Also, Ikea is less than an hour's drive away and is the king of any home appliance/furniture stores!
Have a look; they may just light up your life! read more
