Leek's Edwardian Charm

Just before the Christmas of 2007, I came across Leeks own Edwardian Charm, the name as such belongs to a shop just off the market square in Leek, thus 'Market Street'. The owners are very relaxed and charming in themselves, and the shop is like stepping back in time! At Christmas they open their top floor to reveal such lavish Edwardian charm in a Christmas theme, from tuneful mini Edwardian village style houses that have lights on and sing Christmas music, to snow globes and garlands that take you back in time to yesteryear!

The gentleman that owns it gave my daughter a couple of Christmastime treats, one being a little dolly with plaits in to hang off our Christmas tree and the other a little wooden heart and snowman festive decoration with proper string on.

They won an award for their Christmas 2007 window display! Believe me, it was truly well earned! It is the best quaint little shop in leek other than that of the ones in Getliffes yard which in itself is truly a step back in time.
