Our
Norwich Shop
is situated in one of the oldest parts of the city. We are housed
in a beautiful Tudor building in the ancient cobbled street of
Elm Hill. The original elm tree is long gone but the shop stands
opposite a lovely plane tree which stands in its place. At the
rear of the shop is a peaceful garden thought to have been designed
by the late Gertrude Jeckyll
We have
two large Georgian glass windows which are always stuffed with
bears, and shelves upon shelves of bears created by talented
artists and all the top manufacturers
Even
on the coldest and dampest of days there is a warm glow from
the windows onto the cobbles in the street
Visitors are drawn in by the glow, and once inside they are encouraged
to pick up the bears. We are definitely a 'hands on' rather than
a 'don't touch' shop
In the
Summer, the sunlight filters through the plane tree in the square
outside and softly warms the Bears. We open the garden then for
special events, when Customers can chose their Bears outside.
