The staff aren't very helpful or happy, I can say that as a previous customer,(My opinion - not Geograph's) and when they moved from nearby Cromer Road (in the same square in 2011/12) - they didn't even bother telling anybody. But they are knowledgeable, that's the main thing.
Destination Wex, Norwich
Wex photographic stock a comprehensive range of photographic equipment. Feeling like an afternoon out, I called to collect a couple of items which I had ordered in the morning. Very efficient service.
Located on the Frenbury Estate, Drayton High Road.
