Robinsons

At Wigan. Has it closed?

 

[ycbm]

Yes, boarded up last Saturday when I went there.

 

[scats]

Yes it’s been closed for a while now, sadly.

I used to get a post-Christmas sales trip there every year as a child, it was the highlight of my year! I feel slightly sad that it's gone.

 

[Tiddlypom]

It was a great place to go when it first opened. Lots of choice and plenty of decent quality brands. It’s not been the same since it reopened with a smaller store after the major fire they had - that was many years ago now.
I used to do a day trip taking in the original Derby House store and Robinsons back in the day.

There's naylors (3 locations) Hope valley, and fearns farm all not that far though if you wanted a shopping trip

I used to be obsessed with their catalogues when I was a teenager and pointed out every little thing I wanted to my granny. I always wanted to go to the superstore. Very sad.

I furnished my stable yard with stuff from Robinsons such as saddle racks, rug racks, and even some of their showjumps and was never let down.

Also like many bought rugs and clothes for myself from them. Sad to see them go downhill and close.

 

[eahotson]

Thanks all.

Following on from this, is the Cannock one still open? Is it worth visiting? Haven’t been for many years but I have a yard move coming up (hurrah!) and might need a few bits.

No I believe they closed that one too, but I have it in my mind the store is now occupied by Naylors although not been myself.

Robinsons website says 1x Robinsons store at Malton North Yorkshire, and 2x inside BATA country stores , 1in Beverley nr Hull in East Yorkshire and 1 in York North Yorkshire.

I used to love browsing their catalogues. They’ve gone downhill over the years, possibly since Sports Direct got involved.

 

[Tiddlypom]

We have a Naylors locally. It's fairly small and underwhelming, tbh . Edgemere is nice but again, very small.

Now the huge main Hope Valley Saddlery store at Somerford Park Farm is well worth a bit of a day trip for a visit .

I think this is a different company

 

[neddy man]

Then please inform us where "Robinsons "are, thank you.

I loved the old store so much. It never quite felt the same once they rebuilt it.

I did used to enjoy a trip to Robinson’s though. Me and my dad were rather partial to the chips in the cafe!

Strange ?

My nearest naylors is Rochdale and while its not old Robinsons its not bad - tack, yard stuff, feed, clothes its not a day out on its own but its ok

The Yorkshire Robinsons isn't connected with the Haydock Robinsons which is closed.

The old Derby House and Estate Supplies in Ashley were the best for extensive stock. You'd never get anywhere like these now.

Yes that’s always been my understanding very different set ups thanks for confirming
