"Haberdashery, modelling, books; gifts… welcome to the crafty emporium that is Fred Aldous. Famous to creatives far and wide, this establishment is an absolute must see for everyone. High, low, left and right, this tardis like store has something for every possible need and is an absolute joy to have a look round whether you need something or not. It’s one of those rare spaces that lift you soul, put a spring in your step and guarantee to put smile on your face. Head over with some mates and mess around in the photo booths, book onto a course you have also wanted to do but never thought existed or hide away downstairs and fantasize about that AirFix set which you still wonder if you are too old for (you’re not!)." - The Neighbourhood
