secondhandtools now has a retail outlet at the Lyme Regis Antique & Craft Centre on the Marine Parade, Lyme Regis, Dorset, DT7 3JH. Tel:  01297 445053.  During the summer months the Centre is open 11 am to 5 pm 7 days a week.

Gerry and I are really pleased about this move.  Lyme is such a fantastic place to visit. It has got everything, as far as we are concerned. Really nice beach with cafes, pubs, icecream parlours (and toilets) very handy.  Lots to watch going on on the water: fishing boats, gigs, canoes, etc.  We need to go over twice a week to refurbish stock and here we can combine business with pleasure.  Add the new stock and then sit out having a coffee, or a pint or beer or glass of wine!

Lyme Regis Antique & Craft centre is based on the Marine Parade overlooking the beach and you can stroll along to the Centre either from  The Cobb or come along the Marine Parade from the Town Centre (and it is a unique town centre, especially for a seaside town).   Above are the recently extended and renovated Gardens with mini golf, table tennis and lots of sitting areas  to admire the fantastic view out to sea.

If you can cope with the return uphill walk, then there is a large car park to the west of the town where, at the time of writing this, parking costs just £1.70 a day.  Very good value.

For more information try the Lyme Regis Tourist Information Centre

We have a  quantity of G Cramps in very good but used condition in stock.

Anyhow,the photograph is  of Mike and friends at the 8 mile stage.  The Grizzly is about 20 miles – it goes along beaches, up and down cliffs, through bogs – it is quite an endurance test.  But it is Mike and friends way of raising money and saying thank you to the people at Bristol Childrens Hospital.

If anyone reading this feels moved to donate to the Childrens Hospital please put a cheque in the post to

Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal

and perhaps mention Mike & his two friends?  The three men did so well.

We now have a small area in the Lyme Regis Antique & Craft Centre on Marine Parade, Lyme Regis.
Opening hours are 11:00 to 17:00 7 days a week.

If you are in the area please pop and check out our second hand tools.  The Antique Centre is on
the Marine Parade at Lyme next to the By the Bay Restaurant, a brief stroll along the front from the
bottom of Broad Street, Lyme Regis or an even briefer stroll from the west end at the Cobb.

We have recently reordered this book.  The feedback we have received from people who have purchased it  has been 100% happy!!   At the moment we are selling it for £70. It weighs 3.75 kgs so we post it out by carrier (in the UK usually UPS) and we have had to increase the UK  Zone One delivery charge to  £8.50.  Other areas such as The Hebrides, Northern Ireland, The Highlands etc we will have to quote for.  Delivery is usually within 3 days of ordering.  We will quote for any destination outside the UK.

For more details about the book please look at our website
