Northern Cobbler Leicestershire Coffee Shop and Shoe shop Opening in Oakham Rutland Soon.

Northern Cobbler Leicestershire Coffee Shop and Shoe shop Opening in Oakham Rutland  Soon.

The company claims to source sustainable coffee and roast it a barn in Leicestershire.

The company also makes and sells shoes for woman and men. Some of the range is Vegan Friendly.

It is disappointing that a company that claims to be good for the environment felt the need to rip out the existing wooden shop from and replace it with this awful cheap looking metal shop front. 

One their more stylish stores can be seen in  Queens Rd, Clarendon Park Leicester  LE2 3FL

Carphone Warehouse last restored the original wooden shop front September 2018

They say that beauty is only skin deep, but in Uppingham it’s built into the fabric of its honey-coloured houses. From the thatched cricket pavilion to the quaint old market square, there’s a feast for the eyes at every turn — cobbled alleys, pots bursting with bay and box, and immaculate front gardens. This is a place that cares about appearances. Life here is pleasingly traditional — and not just in November when the streets are full of sheep and cattle for the fatstock show, using temporary pens in the market square, or April when vintage cars gather for the Stilton Cheese Run.

Edmondthorpe Mile Marker Now In Oakham Rutland?

Edmondthorpe Mile Marker Now In Oakham Rutland? Oakham Town Council decided to install this? A mile marker for a Leicester Village. The miles shown to Melton is even incorrect so I am not sure why this has been installed on the by-pass, something for a speeding motorist to hit.

We have our own marker giving the distance to and from London on another Oakham Road.
