Philips fishing tackle, abbey foregate, Shrewsbury

Post by Shropshire Lad »

Hi,
Anyone in Shropshire remember Philips tackle shop under Abbey Foregate railway bridge in Shrewsbury it was more of a large shed really, I think it had a corrugated tin roof, I used to spend most of my Saturday mornings in there in the early 80s when I was a teenager. I remember keepnets hanging from the ceiling and rows of fibreglass rods canvas holdalls and baskets, I think the proprieter was called Windsor great little shop where you could get good advice.
