Not repair, Dug. It's a teddy Bear factory.

I thought it was both Tony, I omitted to put make in the post too much of a hurry while it was on.

I was looking at it on Google Map - just up the river (or maybe down) from Mad.

I must admit i used to have a Teddy when i was very young called....you guessed it "Teddy2, it had been handed down by my Mother. Then my Puppy( Welsh Corgi) at the time got hold of it and it was Good-bye Teddy.

Only just spotted this thread. The Merrythought factory is 10 minutes walk from me and they still make lovely bears some of which I stock. They have their own shop so no point having the full range. They don't do any repairs at the factory, if people contact them they put them in touch with my shop as I also run a teddy bear hospital

They used to flood but they have built some defence walls along the river bank which means it is about 10 years since the factory was underwater. They have even done a bear in waders and a rainhat from the time they flooded in November 2000

Love it!

This was my favourite Merrythought, but I had to sell him, he was too large & I had nowhere to keep him. OH refused to have him on our bed.

He went to a good home, a collector, Mad. I got a decent profit too.
