Think Christopher Robin, Huck Finn and perhaps the Famous Five. In really lovely clothes.

- D’Arcy Brown (stylish, practical lines from this London-based brand)
- Their Nibs (Retro, contemporary and lots of fun)
- Mitty James (Fab Brit beachwear for all outdoor adventurers!)

As well as sumptuous wardrobe-candy, Bells & Whistles has a selection of night lights, soft furnishings such as cushions, prints and gifts. Some items are locally made here in Norfolk, making them extra-special souvenirs of a much loved summer holiday or a magical Christmas escape.
Open Tues-Sat 11am-4.30pm (and on Sun days during school holidays).

Situated on East Quay in Wells-next-the-Sea, Standard House Chandlery has a long tradition of catering to the needs of sailor-types. As The Standard Inn during the 1700s, a young Nelson sat and watched sailors performing shanties and generally discussing all things nautical, an experience that can only have helped him find his own ‘sea legs’ only a few years later.
Doubling as the first rural post office in Norfolk, and located on the then-busy sea-going harbour of Wells, it must have been quite a lively place.
Nowadays, Wells Harbour is more famed for its visual appeal than its functionality. It is lovely to sit on the quay and watch the yachts or fishing boats (even better with a portion of salty chips from one of the chip shops opposite). The Albatross sailing ship (one of the oldest sailing ships still afloat, and the last ship to bring a cargo to the harbour) is moored there as a permanent visitor attraction and rather nice restaurant (great pancakes!).
The Standard Inn is now Standard House Chandlery – an emporium of all sorts of equipment and accessories for boating and sailing, from footwear and clothing to outboard engines. You can even buy new and used craft.
Proprietor John Crook (who, along with wife Marion, has run Standard House for over twenty years) is an experienced marine engineer. Consequently, Standard House Chandlery is able to offer storage, maintenance and repair services for all types of inboard or outboard engines.
Whether you’re a keen sailor (or aspire to be one), or simply visiting Wells, a visit to Standard House Chandlery is a great opportunity to experience a little, local feature of maritime history.

Tel: 01263 733142
Found in the historic Market Town of Aylsham, Black Sheep is a fabulous shop selling Men’s and Women’s clothing, accessories and footwear. Stylish, original and of the highest quality, Black Sheep’s varied selection covers everything from nightshirts (yes, the authentic, old-fashioned variety, which I am informed are incredibly popular and comfortable) to outdoor wear designed to compliment and withstand an active lifestyle.
The name ‘Black Sheep’ refers to the own-brand jumpers, jerseys and accessories handmade locally from speciality black, dark and light grey wools. Pure, natural and oiled, these are derived from the Ingworth and Blickling Welsh Mountain Flocks, found here in Norfolk. As well as this lovely knitwear, Black Sheep also stocks beloved and designer brands such as Weird Fish, Mat de Misaine and Keen footwear (hard to find in England, but purported to be one of the best outdoor footwear brands to be found).
Although a trip to the shop itself is ideal, allowing you to browse the full range (which extends to gifts and accessories), Black Sheep also offers you the facility to shop online from the comfort of your own home. With a secure ordering system (and the ability to call the friendly people at Black Sheep if you have any questions or need any help), check out the website and start shopping now!
Open Mon-Fri 9am-5.30pm. Sat 10am-5pm.

Nelson’s County Marine Covers Ltd.
(workshop) Drove Orchard Farm, Main Road,
Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LS.
Tel: 01485 210 218 / 07860 236 905.
Please telephone first to let us know you’re coming.
Based on the Drove Orchards site at Thornham, Nelson’s County Marine Covers has grown quite spectacularly in the past two and a half years, since it was started by Nicholas Healing from his garden shed! Nowadays, Nelson’s County Marine Covers is known for producing very high quality marine covers and associated products at refreshingly competitive prices.
Items manufactured by Nicholas and his team (which includes his wife, Lucy and experienced seamstress Diane) include bespoke boat covers (made to order to suit your requirements), splash covers, sail covers, and cushions for boats, worked in both canvas and PVC.
Nelson’s County Marine Covers also specialises in sail repairs and cover bags constructed from reclaimed sails. The repair service extends to items of an equestrian nature.
Outside the immediate marine sphere, Nelson’s County Marine Covers makes game bags and also all-weather awnings and umbrellas (the like of which you may see outside some North Norfolk inns!).
Key products by Nelson’s County Marine Covers are the security covers for outboard motors. These can be bought directly from Nelson’s County Marine Covers a swell as through Police forces around the region. The fabric cover, which replaces the motor’s removable cowling protects the engine parts but devalues the motor in the eyes of a thief.
In their own words, Nelson’s County Marine Covers value flexibility and creativity, ensuring that while their items are high quality and functional, they are also fun and make use of the latest manufacturing techniques.
