On top of all that the glasses were made within an hour!!!!!!!!! highly recomended

Bristol Gold are truly a wonderful and honest business. I have visited twice in the last month,…read moremost recently today to sell Some gold and the whole process was made so easy and professional. I have dealt with both Jason and Dylan and a couple of other guys who have all been really helpful and always very professional. I was able to go into there safe private room to make the sale and I was paid within a couple of minutes with the best and most fair price I could have asked for. I was even made a coffee and given delicious chocolate biscuits. It's in a great location also if you're driving with loads of free parking in the surrounding roads. I will hopefully be paying a visit again soon to purchase a phone. I drove an hour and a half to get to them, but we'll worth it for the very fair price I was given and the super service. I was nervous when I read the words 'pawn shop' online, but trust me there is nothing to be worried about. I honestly 100% recommend these guys with all my heart. Thank you again so much, best wishes from Lucy

Whilst the thought of a pawn shop may be horrible when you are hocking your stuff to eat, when you…read moreare on the other hand it is a surprising jumble sale of electronics and jewellery. Bristol Gold sits at the top of Lodge Causeway near Forest Road and is nothing special to look at - a black box shop with staff behind high counters and protective glass. But the window has some nice pieces of jewellery in and good prices, plus mobile phones and ipods. Inside the shop window has a back display and there is a rack of console games (priced £2 to £15), more phones (all displayed with their police check certificate so you aren't going to buy anything that has been stolen) and a box of DVDs for £1 each. I felt comfortable enough to have a rummage through the DVD box and came out with a copy of The Thing and Galaxy Quest (ahh guilty pleasures). The lady behind the counter was chirpy and encouraged me to look through the free CD box which was amusingly like looking through a tweenie girl's CD collection from 2002.

Watchmaker, jeweller and gift shop by trade - this must be someone with a very fine hand indeed…read more Mostly the shop seems to sell collectibles. Collectibles - as in miniature models of cars, tractors and such like sold for obscene amounts of money. Obscene to me perhaps, but I'm sure to the budding collector it's worth the price. I can see that it's all very good quality and there's a huge range of different types. The models of cows feeding for £250 aside there's also a lot of jewellery and watch making going on. This is a good place to find some unique wrist-ware, and a model of some cows feeding - should you necessitate either.
