This sort of follows on from the discussion/demise of A B Fletcher.
I know about Nutters at the old Black & Decker site, but having sent them a message a week ago, I haven't had a reply.
There used to be a place in [I think] Stratford Place that sold all sorts of nuts and bolts but I'm sure they are now long gone.
I can also remember [vaguely] a place towards the City end of Summer Lane that seemed to sell anything and everything. Far more interesting than any shopping centre or suchlike.:courage:
Has Ebay killed them all off?
Whilst I can find most things that I need on Ebay, at a price, I particularly need 0BA brass Hex Headed bolts 20mm or so in length. Must be brass.
I know we have a number of Engineers and car enthusiasts on here so, as the title asks, are there any old fashioned Ironmongers still in Brum?
