Many people local to Clare have fond memories of Peddar's.
In 1978 their sheepskin coats were
"£1 off during December" 🙂
We have lots of lovely old ads like this in our exhibition, Clare Shops: Past & Present. Open weekends: noon to 4pm. Free entry.

Can you help?
Clare shops are displaying their unique poster showing previous uses of their premises. Some of the posters contain gaps & information accompanied by '(?)' - meaning it's based only on our best guess.
Please let us know if you can augment or correct any of our info
