With the vast range of goods that could be bought there, the Victorian ironmonger's shop was the equivalent of the large department stores of today. If the Victorian housewife needed knife-cleaning power, candles, a saucepan, etc. she would visit the ironmonger. Likewise the men would go for knives, tools, building supplies, etc.This book is a thorough account of the ironmonger's varied stock and also delves into the purchase of goods, keeping accounts, the credit system, and the prompt delivery service. It features countless rare vintage black and white photos and diagrams that complement the well-written text. This fascinating book and look back into history will be an interesting read for all.
