50 orders, and lots more.
“We can’t wait to welcome everyone into store,” said store manager Louise and we’ve constantly evolved in that time. We’ve extended our range and recently introduced garden furniture in store, which is perfect for summer.”
In the last 12 months it has become the go-to store for home furnishings in
dining furniture and beds to sofas and soft furnishings.
Shackletons Gallery is part of the wider Shackletons group, whose story began in the Ribble Valley in 2000 when brothers David and Paul Shackleton moved from hands-on landscape gardening into retail, bringing with them a practical understanding of how people wanted to use their homes and gardens.
What started as a traditional garden centre quickly grew into the Shackletons many customers know today, a place shaped by family values, thoughtful service and a lasting connection to the local community.
Shackletons extended their offering at Redbrick Mill in Batley in 2023. The eventual move to Fox Valley saw the family business partner with Gallery Direct, another small family-run business that has
grown to become the leading British based designer, manufacturer and worldwide distributor of furniture, home décor and
of their products at Shackletons Gallery as well as those from other premium brands.
The store, which sits at the opening to the Fox Valley shopping complex, is split

There are many advantages - aesthetic and otherwise - to choosing silver jewellery.
Silver has been used in precious objects and jewellery for thousands of years, admired for its bright lustre and malleability, allowing it to be formed into intricate shapes. Although it has often been relegated to second place behind gold (quite literally, if you’re a sports fan!), this beautiful metal is now gaining in popularity, since steep increases in precious metal prices have pushed gold higher.

ith his band Reverend and the Makers, Jon McClure has played all over the world, from small, intimate venues to huge festivals and supported some of the biggest names in music. But now he’s facing his toughest gig yet.
In a headline-grabbing press conference that gained national attention, it was announced that Jon will be the new football club in the world.
But before you think that this is maybe his ego running away with him, we can categorically say that this couldn’t be further from the truth.

“There’s a foolishness in trying to do things in your own,” he said, as we sat in Horses stadium. “I don’t want to be the man, I want to be part of the team.”
Looking back through Jon’s involvements in previous projects, it’s always been as part of a team and this latest venture is no exception.

“We very deliberately set up a company with complementary skill sets,” explained Jon. “I’m a creative person and my strength is ideas. The trick here is to put a team around me who can bring those ideas into being.

The main picture showed an Elizabethan manor house built on the House was for many years the summer residence/shooting lodge for Earl Fitzwilliam of Wentworth and the estate still owns quite a lot of land in the area. The premises was restored in the 1970s and is now a private house.
The smaller picture showed St Mark’s, a non-conformist chapel built in the early 1900s, but still recognisable today, although it is now used for Pentecostal worship.
