Britain’s smallest shoe shop has been squeezing in customers for the past 25 years despite being a tight fit – at just 3ft (0.9m) wide. Peter Scott Shoes is based in the village of Woodhall Spa, Lincs., and is so tiny that you can touch both walls while standing in the same place on the shop floor. At the equivalent width of around three size 11 shoes the business is one of the smallest stores in the country and could well be the narrowest in Britain. The 169-year-old building used to be a booking office on the platform of the former railway station where trains ran from in the spa town between 1855-1954. Following the lines closure, it became a number of stores including a funeral directors, bank, auctioneers and a jewellers until it opened as a shoe shop in 1999.
