OUR HISTORY
1940's
From its humble beginnings in the 1940’s Wagstaffes of Whitchurch has grown from strength to strength. Wagstaffes started life at the end of the war as a shoe repair and small leather goods maker, run by Fred Wagstaffe and his sons George & Harry.
1970’s
The two sons moved the business to larger premises in the early 1970’s as a footwear retailer, Wagstaffe the Shoemen, whilst retaining the repair workshop.
2007
The store was sold when George & Harry retired, and has changed hands twice before being purchased by the present owners Andy & Nikki Bettison in 2007.
2008 - Present day
In 2008 Wagstaffes moved again, to larger premises where it remains today. The addition of ladies fashions came later that year, and has expanded and grown from strength to strength. There is also a menswear department. Customers travel many miles to find the perfect outfit. Footwear remains at the core of Wagstaffes. From first shoes where the team of experienced shoe fitters measure and fit children’s shoes, to adults where we strive to meet all requirements.
Throughout the trading history of the business the ethos has remained the same – quality goods and excellent customer service.
We look forward to helping you find just what you’re looking for.
