Customised shipping containers housing unique independent retailers

Here you can find a mix of independent shops selling a consortium of items and services from real ales and vintage accessories to pet supplies, an eclectic mix of records for music enthusiasts, and a specialist coffee venue - a haven for all coffee enthusiast providing the perfect place for that morning cup, lunch break meet or afternoon brew.
