Thorpes of Gosforth ltd is a third generation family business. Our grandfather opened the business in 1947. Over the years the market and competition has changed considerably, but we still aim to provide a very comprehensive stock of traditional hardware products and are always prepared to go that extra mile to help customers track down ‘elusive’ items. Thorpes have a reputation of “if you can’t get it at Thorpes you won’t get it anywhere”. Thorpes of Gosforth also prides itself in offering the highest standard of ‘good old fashioned’ customer service available today.

 

A few years ago we decided to move into fireside accessories as more and more people started to open up their real fires, this has proved to be such a success that we now offer this range for sale on our web site at www.thefiresideshop.co.uk

 

At present you cannot shop on line at the Thorpes of Gosforth site, we did not realise when we embarked on the fireside shop project what a huge task it would be, let alone tackling all our usual Thorpes shop business, there are just not enough hours!

But who knows what the future will bring!

 

Meanwhile we have lots of pictures for your enjoyment, showing the depth and breadth of stock we carry, plus we are sure you will find the train banner add most entertaining should you care to give it a click!

 

Thank you for visiting our site
