Default North East Shop Shock!!

I picked up a copy of the Yellow paper, first time in years and i was shocked at the ammount of shops that are hidden in corners, out of view.
I'm gonna list them, has anyone been to them? If so, what are they like??
Good, Bad or Ugly?

Fins, Paws & Claws (South Shields)

Fish Trek (North Seaton)

Penshaw Aquatics and Reptiles (Penshaw)

The Tropical Team (Gateshead)

Dunston Aquatics and Reptiles (Gateshead)

The Reptile Warehouse (South Hetton

and those are just the one in my local area.

+ all the other better known shops, it appears we are spoilt for choice!!!

Haven't come across any of those!

Worth having a look though. Did you know about Shades of Green in Ashington?

Also I was told about a new one in Hexham, but I'm danged if I can find it.

I decided to call in and have a look on my way back from west Scotland last Tuesday, but couldn't find it! I came in from the A69 roundabout and was told to turn left into the industrial estate. Well I turned left at the Anick turning and drove around all those units, couldn't find it. Came out and took the next left and drove around all those units and still couldn't find it - at which point I gave up and came home.

Anyone tell me where exactly it is?

I've been to the one in Penshaw.
It's well out of the way down a little street.
The guy is really friendly and although it's only a small shop it is lovely and clean.
There didn't seem to be very much as far as species were concerned but after all you can only fit so much into a small shop!!!!!!!

Isn't the tropical team run by Kevin at Coast to Coast and his friend????
