About the shop
Old-fashioned on purpose. Friendly by habit.
Mr Arkwright's is a traditional, independent hardware shop and ironmonger in Oxford Buildings on Cheltenham Parade. You'll know us by the frontage. Goods are stacked outside under a canopy held up by black-painted iron pillars, just as hardware shops used to look.
Inside, it's the same idea. Shelves full of useful things, and people behind the counter who know where everything is. Some regulars call in every week.
Visit North Yorkshire lists us as a traditional hardware merchant and ironmonger: an “Aladdin's cave” of household and garden products.
Visit North Yorkshire listing- Proper independentA local Harrogate shop, not a chain. Every visit keeps a real high-street ironmonger going.
