I remember as a kid we would regularly go to the town square, have a friendly chat with the baker, have a friendly chat with the greengrocer, friendly chat at the corner shop, get some advice from the ironmonger

I'm sorry did you live in the fucking Hanseatic League or some shit? Fucking iron monger?

It's pretty common for shop signs, but is limited to 'small local hardware shop' rather than any hardware shop. I've seen it across south England up to north Scotland, so it's definitely not a 'local local' thing.
