Daleswear isn't what it used to be. 25 years ago it was a small shop up the hill from Inglesport / Bernies just before the Wheatsheaf, with sewing machines in the back and lots of caving oversuits / undersuits / tackle sacks made on the premises. Then they moved to larger premises on Laundry Lane. Now it's a barn off the main A65 full of big name branded jackets, etc. I still wear their own brand cag I bought there many years ago - covers my bum, unlike all the trendy jackets nowadays.
They've only just opened an upstairs department full of tents and camping gear.
Tom Lambert said he had taken the decision to close Daleswear Outdoors Ltd ? which he started at Ingleton 37 years ago ? as he cannot afford to keep it open.
