Shopping isn’t always about glamour purchases – even in Crouch End. There are times when a household needs a hammer, a ladder or sometimes even a rat trap – that’s when people turn to the ever reliable hardware institution that is Bishop’s. I’ve known this shop all my life. My father would often buy timber on a Saturday morning from Thomerson’s across the road and then we’d pop across the road for the brass-ware to make whatever piece of furniture he was concocting. Established in 1956 W D Bishop & Sons Limited is still a family business and a piece of Crouch End history.
