Mr Simms

Lichfield's 'Purveyor of Finest Confectionery'.

I love this shop, it's like something time forgot with towering shelf's filled with large jars of multicoloured boiled sweets. The dark wood interior low lighting makes it feel more authentic and although it's tiny inside every available surface has some kind of sweet delight placed on it. Both children and adults alike can't wait to squeeze in and have there own Willy Wonka moment.

My personal favourite is the cola cube, king of the boiled sweets in my opinion

The only downside is that Mr Simms wouldn't be found inside weighing out the sweets, unfortunately Mr Simms is a chain with shops throughout the UK (and a slightly unattractive and uninspiring website), but hey least it means you're never too far away from sugary bliss.
