W.Cook Supplies

Interior of W Cook traditional store in Llanwrtyd Wells, like stepping back in time.

Situated just down the main street from the town centre, this shop, dearly loved by residents, offers a remarkable range of reasonably priced goods: stationery, toiletries, greeting cards, toys, jigsaw puzzles and items unlikely to be found in today’s high street chains.

Here you will meet Mr Peter Cook, who arrived as a teenager with his family in 1965 and now owns the shop. In 1965 the shop was primarily a pharmacy but it also served petrol from a pump in front of the shop, tobacco and pipes, fishing tackle, veterinary goods, shot gun cartridges etc.

The shop is well worth a visit, not only to browse for things to purchase but also to learn about its history. Mr Cook loves talking to his customers and, if you have time to spare, a visit is highly recommended.

Mr Cook can be contacted on 01591 610207.
