Thorns DIY
Family-run Thorns DIY is an independent and traditional hardware store in the heart of the Norwich Lanes. Established in 1835 by London merchant Robert Elliot Thorn, who saw a gap in the market for ironmongers in Norwich, the building on Exchange Street has a unique history, and customers love getting lost in the quirky layout of the store. Run by Peter Motts and his two daughters, Emily and Miriam, they stock thousands of items for the home and garden, and the friendly, knowledgeable team love helping people with their DIY projects. At the DIY Week Awards 2022, they won Retailer of the Year. Free local delivery is available (terms and conditions apply).
