A question about umbrellas

A question to our fellow UK foruners about umbrellas. Of course it can be for every one, but IMO, they are the lead expert in umbrellas.

So the story goes, one of my latte umbrella was a old one, that belong to a friend and tenant of my grandmother. After she went to a home, the umbrella went to my grandmother and after she pass way, I began to use it.
It was a all wood umbrella, with a steel frame and the cloth was rubberized (I think, it was not nylon tissue). Was very strong and could sustain those windy days. But it was ruined a few time ago, after an accident.
I would like to buy some good umbrella, to substitute it. Possibly a walking umbrella and strong. From time to time I go searching for a vintage one, in ebay.uk, but normally they are quite expensive.
Anyone knows online shops that I can look?
