February 2018 Excellent service, and a fine lesson on colour…read morechoices for double mounts. I have been buying my mountboard and backing from Tony for probably 5/6 years now, to mount my Camera Club Competition entries. This has not involved spending large amounts, but nevertheless every single time I go in I receive help and advice and an extremely friendly service from both Tony and Christy. On my most recent visit, Friday 9th Feb 2018, along with a fellow club member, we spent ages with Tony whilst he guided us and showed us comparisons of shades to use for double mounts which complemented each of our different 6 images. We had an idea what we wanted when we went in, but when we left we were no less than "gobsmacked" by his suggestions which of course we went with, and came away with prints which we we both so proud to say "we made these" when in fact Tony's expertise had really made the images something special. I must also mention that while Tony was helping us both, Christy was busy with the cutting, all this and no hint at all to us that Tony really needed to be off and doing his deliveries! So we must both apologise to him, and will promise not to do that again on a Friday afternoon! Christy also took the time to give me some advice I needed on using my own mount cutter. I had suddenly lost confidence with it after making some bad cuts, she was able to offer me some tips which I'm sure will get me going again. So, finally, big thank you and we will continue to be loyal customers. Heather

You tour the mill from its founding days to see the old machinery still being put to use to make the cloth sold in the gift shop. If the weather is good, there are lots of walks to follow through the country park. At the end of the driveway, there is the apprentice house where the mill workers used to live. They were self sufficient from the garden which you can look around and guided tours give an insight into life during the industrial revolution. Always some additional activities during school holidays and somewhere we keep going back to time and again.
