There’s bigger selection of small UK skateboard shops here than normal. November 1989 would have been a peak month for the skateboard business in Britain. Muddy Fox and Matchrite jokes are the odd ones out, sitting alongside Wheels Unlimited from Weymouth, Transition Skates from Grimsby, Dave Friar Surf Shop in Swansea, Freebird from Bideford, Round Ocean in Doncaster, Shore Break in Acton, Blah Blah in Stockton on Tees and the Angel Lights Skatepark (The Church) in Glasgow.
Some of those were solid shops supporting their local scene over many years, others seem less familiar and I suspect they didn’t last very long.

If you have any photo’s or if you could even rerun the old article from The Angel Lights skatepark in Glasgow then that would be dope!
