JB Banks and Son Ltd was established in 1836 as a traditional hardware shop in Cockermouth. You can still buy new and second hand tools there but it also has a free museum. It is like stepping back into the past. Here are a collection of old boots and shoes and shoe plates upstairs in their museum.
