Tucked away in the beautiful and often forgotten county of Herefordshire dwells an Aladdin's Cave of marvellous antique barometers and clocks. This unique display is the largest to be found in the U.K. Each item is guaranteed, having been expertly restored in their own workshops by a very talented team of craftsmen.

Managing Director, Richard Cookson, has been involved in antiques since his teens, opening his first shop in Stourbridge at the age of 21. In 1974 Richard decided to specialize in barometers, and so The Barometer Shop was founded.

At this most unusual emporium they repair and restore all types of barometers and clocks and their friendly staff are more than happy to spend as much time with people who just want to browse as they would with someone wishing to buy one of the antique treasures.

A further service was added last year when Trouble Shooter Sir John Harvey-Jones "cut the ribbon" to open The Restoration Shop, this is rather like a small museum but all the items are for sale. Treasures as diverse as a two man operated Fire Engine and a Wine Bottle Corking Machine mingle with vintage car parts. Their boast is "WE CAN RESTORE (almost) ANYTHING"
