Three barbers, one bench, and a lot of regulars.

How it started

Frank Sharp served his apprenticeship in the 1980s and spent twenty years working other people's shops before taking on the lease at number 14 in 2011. The unit had been a barbershop, a cobbler's, and briefly a sandwich bar — but the old barber's pole bracket was still bolted to the wall, so it felt like the right thing to do.

His sons Joe and Callum trained with him and stayed. On a Saturday you'll usually find all three working, plus a pot of coffee that never quite goes cold.
