Here are my my favourite Carlisle potter shops. Some long-since closed, some still going strong:
- Danny's Discount Store - legendary shop, famous for its Pepe jeans with snazzy keyrings;
- Music Box - still going strong and, actually, a bloody good shop if you're after games and music.
But there's no doubting its appearance qualifies it for a place in the
potter shop Hall of Fame;
- Famous Army Stores (FAS) - potterish, simply because of the handful
of items that made their way into school uniforms, immediately branding
the unfortunate wearer as a potter. I got a pair of British Knights
basketball boots from there, in a delightful white, turquoise and black.
I loved them and embraced my consolidation in the world of potters;
- Beavan's Bargain Store - I can't remember where in Carlisle this was
but do recall it being a true potter shop. It saddens me that such
shops have dwindled with the rise of faceless potter shops, such as
Poundland and Poundstretcher. Ladgeful.
Any suggestions for more?
