Benjamin Pollock's Toy Shop

Okay kiddo, do you know what a toy shop is? It's a store where you can buy toys to play with! And one very special toy shop is called Benjamin Pollock's Toy Shop.

This toy shop is very special because it sells traditional toys called "paper theatres". These are like little stages with paper puppets that you can move around and make your own stories with. It's like putting on your own little puppet show!

Now, the reason this toy shop is so unique is because it has been around for a really long time – almost 150 years! That means that your great-great-great grandparents might have gone there when they were kids too.

Benjamin Pollock was the man who started this toy shop a long time ago in London, England. He loved making these paper theatres and wanted to share them with everyone. So he started selling them in his own little shop.

And even though he's not around anymore, his toy shop is still open and selling these paper theatre kits. It's a really special place to visit and see all the different toys they have, especially if you love puppets and putting on your own little shows.
