ironmonger's
Sells nails, hinges
An ironmonger's is a British term for a hardware store—a shop selling tools, nails, screws, household fittings, and similar goods.
The possessive form implies "ironmonger's shop," following the pattern of *greengrocer's* or *chemist's*: I need to pop into the ironmonger's for some brackets.
The term sounds old-fashioned to many speakers, with "hardware store" now more common.
