At 4pm today, Graham Ralston will close the doors to Timperley Aquatics Pets & Reptiles for the final time 🐟

It’s been a fixture in Timperley village since 1983 - back when Graham used to work here as a Saturday boy - but after 42 years, it’s time for a new chapter for Graham and the building.

We’ve just interviewed Graham and will have a full story on our site next week, but for now, let’s say a big thank you to Graham and Timperley Aquatics for being one of our great local businesses for over four decades 👏
