the shop at forty

Established in 2013, the shop at forty was founded by renovating partners Sharon Walker and Lee Burrett.

Having always had a knack for upcycling retro curiosities and salvaging vintage pieces of furniture, we built a workshop in our garden, painted it turquoise and set about turning our hobby into an online furniture business.

In 2014, we set up a permanent shop in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, and successfully ran the business from there for 5 years. During this time they won a number of awards, including Business of The Year in the 2015 St Neots Community Awards, and also the Best Interiors store in Cambridgeshire 2 years running from the lifestyle blog Muddy Stilletos.

After running the business from home for a number of years, in August 2026, we were delighted to open our brand new store at New Barns Farm, on the outskirts of St Neots. The 2,500sq ft space enables us to display our collection of retro, mid century and vintage furnitiure and homewares, and garden furniture and decor.

We also sell online via this website and channels such as eBay, Etsy, Vinterior and Vinted. You can find us on all these channels under theshopatforty.

From retro, revamped, recycled and vintage, we have a whole range of products available, with delivery and collection options always available.
