30 years ago, on 11 May 1996, the Petersfield Cobbler Steve White started the family business.

He also married Moira that year so it’s their Pearl Wedding Anniversary too.

They say their Chapel Street family business - two of their five children work there though all have had a dip, as Moira puts it - is worthwhile but it can be demanding especiaily when first starting.

They talk to Mike Waddington about the challenges, the paper work, the unexpected events like Covid but also how much they enjoy it.

Steve after 45 years in the trade is not yet ready to hang up his hammer!
