Our New Location
Have you moved?:....Yes ....but not far.. .. After being located in our previous shop on York Road for over 30 years we unfortunately had to move out due to the building owner selling the whole property block to a distant property company who required a totally non-viable, and simply ridiculous rental amount and lease agreements (one of the sadly many examples of how "levelling up" harmed rather than helped our local Hartlepool, small and independant business owners)
We're now located in: office rooms 6 & 7 on the first floor of Bovis House Business Centre,
Victoria Road, Hartlepool. TS24 7SE
(opposite Loons/Eskimo Joes)
We're above Poolie Time Exchange/Lily Annes's cafe.
Entrance to Bovis House building is through the sliding doors between Poolie Time & Lilly Annes Cafe
(The Bovis House building was renovated in recent years
so it has good accessibility ramps and a lift as an alternative to the stairs.)
Where can I park?:
The are the main town centre/shopping centre car parks nearby.
Are there public transport stops nearby?
We are located in the heart of Hartlepool town centre so we are fantastically situated for bus stops (some literally just outside the doors of our premises) and the train station is just approx 10 minutes away.
