It's a mans world

A rather unusual men's shop selling expensive men's clothes, shoes & accessories in Alnwick.

Descending into the basement we were surprised to come across a barbers shop!

Everything for the modern mans comfort!

Three good things:
1. I have been to see a brilliant film today called Brooklyn. Very good reviews & it did live up to the book in fact the end was tidied up better in a feel good way. Rather slow moving but very charming with beautiful fifties clothes, I could have stayed in for the next showing if I had nobody at home!
2. A morning on the telephone catching up with no.1 son & my sister.
3. Washing dried outside!

All a bloke needs in one shop
It's a good day when you can dry the washing outside.

I studied this before I scrolled down to your name and had said to myself -- " this must be Pats "!!
An unique and unusual shop and looking rather exclusive !!
Nice to have family chats on the phone -- I hope your sister if bearing up and feeling positive these days .
You seemed to have an enjoyable afternoon - and lovely to reminisce about the 50s

@beryl ha ha Beryl, you know my type of photo well! I did take a photo of the sea shore at Clevelys but I was bored with that view so I used a filler instead! My sister is in great spirits thank you Beryl, she had her last injection on Tuesday so in theory is finished her treatment except for the tablets whic will be more long term. If I was near you I would take you to see Brooklyn!

We have barbers shops, but not in combination with men's clothes and other stuff. Love the picture.

@gijsje Thank you Bep, I have never seen a barbers shop in a clothes shop either, that's what took my eye!
November 12th, 2015  
what a cool place!
November 12th, 2015  
A great combination. Have a trim and spend some more money, too

One stop shopping at its best!

I also knew this was yours as soon as I opened it up. I feel as if I get to go shopping with you...and in for more lovely and quaint shops than we have in the states. Beautifully captured

@rebec @carolmw @kwiksilver
Thank you all......a mans piece of heaven I reckon & this guy was having a great chat to the hairdresser.....do you call a lady hairdresser a barber?

@jgpittenger Thank you Jane...I do tend to go for the shops & people shots I must say, having lived most of my adult life in the middle of a field I love to spend time in busy areas. There are more & more quaint individual shops in towns & villages these days & long live the independent trader.

That looks a very interesting place!
November 12th, 2015  
This is a brilliant shot Pat. I've never seen a barbers shop in a mens clothing shop before but why not?

@helly31 Thank you Helen....we didn't like to linger but it was interesting I must say....they were chatting away too!
November 12th, 2015  
@susiemc No indeed why not Sue......it all makes sense!
November 12th, 2015  
Wow I love the photo and the concept! Could definitely do with one somewhere here. Christmas presents for my guys are getting trickier by the year!
I actually wish that Allan's hairdresser did ladies as well as gents as she a real artist with scissors!

Nice pov you have managed here given there probably wasn't much room.
Looks like a classy joint.
November 12th, 2015  
Now that sounds like a perfect shop
November 13th, 2015  
Great shot and looks a charming place.

What a clever idea to put a barbers and a blokes clothes shop in the same building. Men arent as good at shopping for themselves normally are they
November 13th, 2015  
Such a great idea. never easy to clothes shop with a man and if you can walk past clothes he goes for his haircut you might get lucky!! Pleased your sister is doing well it must be such a relief for you all
November 13th, 2015  
@onewing I have no idea why someone hasn't thought of it before....a one stop mans shop! @thistle
November 13th, 2015  
I like the pictures etc at an angle on the back wall! We all know how good men are at shopping - the quickest decision with no comparisons so this would be a good place!
