Baconsdozen
was a general store then a ships chandlers and tool store,when Lowestofts
fishing fleet vanished it went back to a tool and general store.It now
sells tools and servicing equipment by mail order concentrating on older
imperial stuff for classic cars,motorcycles and trucks.
You
won't find a shopping cart on this site and it isn't all singing,dancing
and fancy pictures.I'd rather you mail or ring so we can sort out what
will do the job ,than let you buy something that won't.
I
also list tools,car spares and other items on Ebay, you can find them here

Whitworth,BSF,BA,and unf,unc
nuts and bolts were widely used when British engineering was still admired
and exported worldwide.I sell quality,branded sockets,spanners and other
tools to fit imperial sizes for the owners of classic cars,motorbikes and
other machinery made when Britain still had sizeable car and motorbike
makers. Some of these tools are unused but older than you are.I sell and
auction modern metric spanners and sockets,servicing and repair equipment
etc all under list price but my real interest is in old fashioned engineering,feet
and inches and engines and vehicles made before planned obsolescence became
the norm.I am always looking to buy surplus new and used imperial tools,please
contact me.

handtools,these charts also give BA

Waveney Road is right opposite
Lowestofts old trawler
dock.(Its the dock thats old,there are no trawlers and hardly any small
fishing boats anymore new or old).Lowestoft is another British seaside
town having the character sucked out of it by years of 'redevelopment',
in this case by the Sunrise
Scheme.
