I have been thinking about this. It's a very long time since I went to York - about 25 years, I think - so it's hard to remember. The cobble-stoned street, I think, is called the Shambles, and is kept as a sort of Open Air Museum. The shop may not have been a real, commercial shop at all, rather it may have been laid out like an old-fashioned shop, with bobbins, and maybe other things (you didn't mention if there was anything else on sale) for sale for souvenir hunters.
At another, similar place - and I can't remember where - there was an old-fashioned toffee shop where one could buy loose toffee, and there was a clogger working in another shop, making clogs. (Making clogs is a lost art in this country, I think).
