    Douglas Lumbar is gone, Victoria Mills are long gone, so who else is supplying wood? Need to get some ply and MDF so I can build cabinets for the back of my work car, but I don't want to pay the prices DIY shops charge for sheets - especially the bent and chipped ones they keep on the shelves in the likes of Woodies/B&Q/etc.

    Nice one, sheets are fine, I've circular/mitre/jig saws at home. Anyone got any other suggestions?

    Try T&A in Blackpool. They have a good selection, reasonably priced and very helpful.

    No association other than the fact I have bought lots of timber there.

    Abbey Woods in Blackpool (in the Industrial Estate past the Planet) are great for hardwoods.
