Hildoceras

Hildoceras Come and explore our treasure trove of wonders, from fine leather luggage and Gentlemen's fragrances

In 1974 on the old side of town, Hildoceras, originally a butchers shop, was established. My Mam and Dad, Myra and Sid Weatherill set up the shop on a shoestring selling gifts to locals and tourists in a much quieter Whitby than it is today. The shop has stayed in the family and over the years the business has grown and flourished. Our wide range of fossils, crystals and minerals from across the g

lobe will interest collectors but will also intrigue children and those looking for a truly unique gift. A range of lamps from Turkish mosaic ,Nkuku brass to Hand-blown glass are in store. There’s nothing like the smell and feel of a real leather bag and you are welcome to smell and feel our ranges of men’s and ladies bags, briefcases and luggage from Tumble and Hide, Yoshi, Ashwood and Visconti. Adorn oneself with beautiful jewellery from Coeur de Lion and Holly Yashi. Heavenly scented candles from Woodwick which burn with the sound of a crackling fire, all this and more, come and browse you don’t know what you might find that you simply can’t live without. we are now stockists of Whistler Tree Cork bags and purses , and Cork place mats and coasters from Liga.

Celebrating 50 years

Mam and Dad (Myra & Sid Weatherill)signed the lease for Hildoceras, then Weatherills in March 1974.

Mam had dreamed of having a gift shop and they both worked long hours to get the shop ready to open. There were coffee tables scattered about and a central counter made from fish boxes with a solid top and sides.

They would sell a few gifts and then travel to wholesalers to top up on stock.

Gradually Dad made all the glass units and cabinets that you see in the shop today and over the years the business grew from strength to strength.

During lockdown we gave the shop a bit of a facelift using copper, dark wood and deep blue elements to create a new aesthetic without changing the original layout.

Sadly Mam passed away in September 2022, she would have loved to have been involved with our 50th year celebrations and after all we wouldn’t be running a successful business without her dream.
