House of Hendy


The Hendy Home Store opened its doors a few days before Christmas. Inside, as you would expect, is a meticulous attention to detail on all floors and every nook and cranny. Every item for sale (whether new and unashamedly utilitarian or found object) is displayed with precision and care - think Labour and Wait with a darkened interior with a little hint of Dennis Sever's house about it or perhaps a period interior from the Geffrye Museum. I did a double take as I thought, for a fleeting moment, Mr Hendy was Mark Gatiss serving in the shop, immaculately dressed in crisply starched and ironed apron and shirt. Here's the Hendy Shed for you to get the idea of the interior of the shop. Don't miss out on this labour of love if you are in the area.
