TRINDERS' FINE TOOLS - Introduction

Updated: 20-Nov-2001

Peter and Rosemary Trinder

welcome you to

TRINDERS' FINE TOOLS.

Selected books and tools for the craftsman, engineer and collector.

Having sold secondhand-hand and antiquarian books on a wide range of subjects for the past 25 years, we have, for some years, concentrated our stock of books and tools on what may generally be described as bench skills.

Thus our stock includes such fields as

cabinet-making and fine joinery
wood-turning and carving
wood-finishing
model engineering
watch and clock making and repairing
silver-smithing
blacksmithing.

In most of these fields we aim to carry selected, quality tools and relevant reference books. We also stock old tool catalogues and reprints, plus authoritative books on collecting, particularly furniture, clocks and tools.

A 'wants file' is maintained for those customer requirements which we're unable to fulfil immediately.

In addition, we are always happy to view collections or single items (books and tools) in the UK with a view to purchase.

Our shop is situated in the old Suffolk town of Clare. We are located in the West of the county, close to the borders of Cambridgeshire and Essex. We are

61 miles from LONDON
29 miles from CAMBRIDGE
17 miles from NEWMARKET

Our shop is normally open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 10 - 5; Wednesday and Saturday 10 - 12 noon. We welcome your visit, but if you are making a special journey please ring first to confirm our availability. You will find that the shop stocks virtually all the books listed, together with other unlisted titles. However, we only keep a small selection of our tool stock available at the shop.

We invite you to

After your visit to TRINDERS' you will find that the area around Clare has much to offer the visitor. It includes:-

Cambridge with its famous Backs and Colleges
the Stour valley with Flatford Mill and its John Constable associations
Newmarket with its noted race-course and Museum of Horse-Racing
Long Melford with its stately homes and antique shops
Lavenham, a medieval wool town with its splendid Guildhall.

Further afield, East Anglia has a great variety of landscape to offer, with its varied coastline, the forests and heaths of Breckland, delightful Suffolk villages and the wide expanse of fenland with the magnificent Ely cathedral.

Definitely an area 'worthy of a detour'.
