Help us work out the future of the Inglesport Café
We've been trading since 1977 and next year will be our 50th anniversary.
The café has been part of that for a long time, running quietly in the background for years, and we don't think it always gets the credit it deserves as a genuine community hub. But we need to be straight with you: the café is under real pressure, and we’re not sure of the best path forward.....
Caving shops no more

Oh no!
Mind Phil must be at retiring age by now. Hopefully someone will take it on as a business.

Jo Royals in Hanley - still have a 25ft ladder and Ecrin helmet from there.
TBF several of them have retired, or passed away.
I would include Daleswear; Beaver (diving) still produce a basic caving suit & kneepads, but you rarely see them:

Bernies is now run by ISCA Outdoors from Devon: https://www.berniescaveshop.co.uk/
Not quite sure when this was last updated, but quite some time ago (& do Field & Trek really qualify?):

Rocksport is nearer 40 years ago. Jo Royale never did much, but is still going in Buxton.

In the 90s there was one in Settle.
Going into the town from the E, off the main street to the right, about 100m before the market square. Perhaps 30m along that street on the left.
I think it was a converted house.
