Tackle Shops Near Gloucester UK

Just heard from my folks that my brother surprised them late last night,
after flying in from Zurich to spend the holiday with us. Obviously he's
the successful one in the family. Anyway, since he is working in the Europe
for the next few years and living near Gloucester I was thinking of asking
him to look around for a used Hardy reel or two. Any of you Brits out there
know the location of any tackle stores in the west of the country?

George, I dunno if you are specifically looking for *used* Hardy reels, and
nor do I know where you are based, but just in case what you are actually
looking for is *cheap* Hardy reels, John Norris of Penrith has several
ranges on sale for half price. and they seem to be damn cheap to start with.
I just bought a 7-weight Golden JLH for about $80 shipped to California.
Now, I'm a tyro so I dont know if that's a decent reel or not but I dont see
how it can be too bad at that price.

I live most of the time in the south of England, hundreds of miles from
Penrith, buy I buy most of my tackle second hand from John Norris. They
are very knowledgable and helpful as well as being good value.
