Paxton & Whitfields

Located at 93, Jermyn Street, Paxton & Whitfield has been established in St James’s for over 200 years and in their present premises for over 100 years.

This quintessentially English cheesemonger, established in 1797 still lays claim to supply the best Stilton in the kingdom. As Winston Churchill once famously said: “A gentleman only buys his cheese from Paxton & Whitfield”

Paxton and Whitfield were granted their first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria, several more warrants followed, and today Paxton & Whitfield still supply cheese to our Royal Family.

Take a closer look at the beautifully hand painted window on this ceramics, the cheeses stand on their platters, ready to be tasted, and the name and details on the fascia and windows are painted in pure gold.

Paxton and Whitefield is a limited edition of just 500 pieces. It measures 23.2cm (9 & 1/8″) tall to the top of the chimney x 10cm (4″) wide.

Floris

Floris, the Perfumers, have been operating at 89 Jermyn Street since 1730.A delightful building & one of the many in Jermyn St. that Hazle would like to model. Note the gold & copper highlights. The interior contains some magnificent Spanish Mahogany Showcases from the Great Exhibition of 1851.

One of the quirkier things that happened in the shop was the “laundering” of money. Because ladies of the period often wore long elegant gloves & money was quite dirty, Floris used to take the money they received from customers & wash & iron it. Change would be given to the customers on a velvet tray, still used today!! With service like this no wonder they hold Royal Warrants!! The building is directly opposite Princes Arcade, where you will find John English Gifts, one of our premier stockists & the shop where you can purchase this piece (as well as off the website) It is one of the smallest Limited Editions we have ever produced and is companion to Paxton & Whitfield, 2 doors away.

Limited Edition of 500 only.

Floris measures 23cm (9″) tall to the top of the chimney x 10.5cm (4 & 1/4″) wide.

Alf Roberts’ Corner Shop & Post Office

Situated at 2 North Parade, Broad Street, Grantham, Lincolnshire.

This general grocer was owned and run not by the Alf Roberts of  ’Coronation Street’ fame, but the father of Margaret Thatcher, first and so far, only female Prime Minister of the UK, who was born in the flat above her father’s shop.

Alf Robert, Alderman and Mayor of Grantham ran his shop for over 30 years from the 1920s to the 1950s. He and his wife Beatrice had two daughters, Maragret was the younger. The building itself  was built in the late 18th Century and we show it as it would have looked during the 1950’s, with it’s beautifully detailed shop window stocked with products whose names alone take us straight back to childhood!

The Corner Grocer is a limited edition of just 1000 pieces.

First produced in 2004, it measures 20.7cm (8& 1/4″) tall to top of chimney x 11.2cm(4&1/2″)wide at widest point.
