Talking Telford: Farewell to the snuggest second-hand in all the land
Last week we said goodbye to Wellington’s oldest charity shop, which was surely also its smallest.
Farewell to the snuggest second-hand in all the land, the Oxfam store in Duke Street, which welcomed its last customers on Friday. The tiny shop had been running there since April 1977, when Telford itself was less than a decade old, and it must have seen Wellington change immeasurably in that time.
As of late it’s been sandwiched between a cash machine and a grand-looking portal that’s now filled in with bricks. A row of three anachronisms at various stages of decline, perhaps.
