The County Sleep Shop

In the Summer of 1956 Barrie Sheffield, after many years of experience acquired working in the furniture industry, realised an ambition and opened his own business selling beds, mattresses and pillows. The County Sleep Shop was born and still remains at its original site at the bottom of the Wyle Cop.

The selling of cots and cot mattresses kept the 'sleep' theme perpetuating and an almost natural progression into the selling of nursery goods evolved. The business today is run by Barrie Sheffield's 2 sons, Clive and Scott and their wives Karen and Janet, culminating in nearly 100 years of experience between them -a truly family business.
