5 Opshops in Stratford and Inglewood

After my weekend in Whanganui which you can find out more about here, I spent some time in Stratford. It was another opportunity to check out the opshops in the area. With a bonus stop to the Bank in Eltham.

Stratford Opshops

• Hospice Shop – big and bright lots of xmas decorations
• St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Op Shop – didn’t get to visit as it was closed
• Salvation Army Family Store – clothing and furniture
• SPCA Op Shop – nice bright shop

Inglewood Opshops

There is only the SPCA in Inglewood which is a nice shop and laid out nicely. There may have been other shops but none that were open when I visited.

The Bank in Eltham

Formally the BNZ bank, artist in resident Mark Bellringer, a painter and photographer displays some of his art while working on new works. Found amongst a gift shop run by his partner Barbara Valentine. A variety of goods from new item’s to retro treasures. To find out more about the transformation of this building into a home and gallery have a read of this article

If you look at the playlist above you will see a short video giving you an brief view of The Banks. Worth stopping just to see how its been revamped.
