Never buy tyres from a 'bikeshop'.
As they (usually) have a small turnover for such things there will be little, if any, discount from the tyre manufacturers RRP, typical shop prices are 30-40% under the quoted figures.

As folk above said, try Spannerman. He's in Kirkby, just a few miles North of Nottingham on the M1. Will fit and balance 020s or Continental Road Attacks front and rear for less than half the price you were quoted up North. And you get free biscuits and coffee...
