Meet the Leeds cobbler celebrating 30 years of craftsmanship from his city centre workshop! 👞

A lot has changed inside and around the Merrion Centre over the last three decades… and Peter Lumb has seen it all!

Natural Born Cobblers is a Leeds independent that really has stood the test of time, with Pete at the helm passionately repairing shoes, saving the planet and serving the people of Leeds 👏

The shop opened in 1996, and to celebrate the milestone, specially commissioned artwork by Yorkshire-based artist Seran Jordan now sits alongside the original logo for the store 🤩

So when you’re in the Merrion, or your shoes need a bit of TLC - go say hi to Pete! 🫶
