The British Red Cross are pleased to announce the opening of their first ever vintage shop in Shrewsbury on Wednesday 19th October 2011. The store was officially opened by Mary Steadman and Ann Allport, local ladies who have been volunteering for the Red Cross for an amazing 25 years.
Staff and volunteers have been working against the clock to open the store on time. The Tudor building on Mardol Street in Shrewsbury is now a vintage shoppers’ playground, with a great selection of stylish bargains available. There was even a celebratory tea party with cakes and cucumber sandwiches for customers and staff alike.
New business manager at the British Red Cross, Diana Goss, said –
This shop is a unique opportunity for us to celebrate our history and move it forward. Shrewsbury seemed the obvious choice for us to open our very first vintage shop as there is a really strong market for vintage clothing here. The huge range of clothing available in this shop means that there really is something for everyone.
The shop itself is open from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5pm, and the address is –
- British Red Cross vintage shop
- 14 Mardol Street
- Shrewsbury
- Shropshire
- SY1 1PY
- Tel: 01743 248 757
So if you’re in the area, why not pop in for a nose at the bargains and help raise much needed funds to assist the British Red Cross in their continued work across the globe.
