Adrian and Sheila of Buttons Saddlery, are celebrating 37 years in business. They started the business in 1973, progressing from a small mobile/part-time unit to their first small shop area in the two-up two-down houses (then called Edna Cottages) on the Guildford Road at West End. Redevelopment of the buildings changed the small row of houses into a four row shopping parade with offices upstairs.

Buttons moved with the times and expanded with their business. They are now to be found in their own premises; a two-storey unit, with the shop floor on the ground level and the workshops and offices upstairs.

On 1st January 1999 Buttons Saddlery was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.
