Life in Beckworth » Bruno Tonioli http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town. Informing you about their lives through the mediums of words, images, an interactive map and stereophonic sound recordings Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:56:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Local Shop Celebrates Anniversary With A Stock Clearance http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/beckworth-guild-of-trade-commerce/local-shop-celebrates-anniversary-with-a-sale/ http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/beckworth-guild-of-trade-commerce/local-shop-celebrates-anniversary-with-a-sale/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:09:29 +0000 a resident of Beckworth http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/?p=6274 Continue reading →]]> Hello. I just thought i’d let you know the good news that local ladle superstore (in fact the county’s one and only ladle superstore) is one year old this week. And to celebrate Len’s Ladle Superstore is clearing the shelves of some unwanted ladles. Ladle store owner/manager Len Goodman and his assistant Bruno Tonioli say that many are badly bent and tarnished, so grab yourselves a large-spoon like bargain (whilst stocks last)… And as the broken neon sign above the shop door states “A house isn’t a home without a ladle. Or two.” Yours sincerely Valerie Saddleworth CBE. Chairlady. The Beckworth Guild of Trade & Commerce.

I just thought i’d let you know the good news that a new shop is opening this Saturday on the high street, and bucking the nationwide trend it’s not a betting shop, charity emporium nor a payday loan shark outlet. Nestling between the builder’s merchants and the undertakers on the site of the condemned cinema, the new retailer will be the county’s first ladle superstore. Called Len’s Ladle Superstore the shop is local dance teacher, and kitchen utensil expert, Len Goodman‘s first foray into shopkeeping and we wish him well. Len has been quoted as saying “I saw a gap in the market when i tried to buy a set of ladles as a wedding present for a friend and found nowhere locally sold them… So my superstore will fill the void.” Cutting the ribbon at the opening will be Len’s best friend Bruno Tonioli himself a dab hand with cooking ephemera. I think Len’s “big spoon shop” will at last put Beckworth on the catering supplies map which is great news for the local economy. Yours sincerely Valerie Saddleworth CBE. Chairlady. The Beckworth Guild of Trade & Commerce.
