Toy Shop - Moreton-in-Marsh

[celticpilgrim]

Well, Mrs. Pilgrim & I tooka trip up to Moreton-in-Marsh this morning. Had a cuppa, then went into the toyshop which has has been there for years.

What a joy to see so many old fashioned toys there - not an XBox in sight. Proper toys for children - blinding!!!

I'll be passing through there in a couple of weeks, I'll stop and take a look. Thanks for the tip.

Has the shop got a website

Mrs Pilgrim here.

Not sure about a website, to give you an idea I remember going into that same shop aged 8 (26 years ago). I couldn't believe how it hadn't changed. In a day and age of cr&p toys, this place stocks the sort of quality toys and games that we all played with when we were little.

Clearly their formula has kept them in business longer than most other toy shops I can think of.

did you see any 'Pirate memory games'
ages 4-11?

[alloypearltam]

Rich off the top of my head no. Although it is quite a small shop they had so many different things (a bit of an aladdins cave) to look at everything properly would take quite a long time.

One thing they definately don't sell - Electronic Games of any description.

Perhaps they'll invent one soon,
I'll wait................................here

Just had a look on yell.com. They have been family owned for 56 years!!!!!

It is run by the JEFFREY family. I was lucky enough to go to school for a while with one of the daughters. Really nice girl, wish I had kept in touch, but was always round the shop.
A real pocket money shop.
