I cant find the cold water valve shut off

Please see the pics.

I can not find the cold water shut off valve.

Just trying to replace the tap in my bathroom and want to shut off the hot and cold water.

Hot water is off now.

The left valve on the pics is the hot one and logically the right should be cold one.

Its just not turning either way - not sure if stuck (oiled already ) or just not active at all - maybe wrong valve.

Please help

Much appreciate it.

Follow pipes from tank, or could off cold main

Being a gatevalve, the spindle could be snapped inside (common). There's an isolation valve on the same feed, you could try that, depending which way they flow. Could always try turning the main stopcock off, as Peter rightly said, could be mains fed.

Will all due respect cheap gatevalves should be BANNED they are a plumbers nightmare! I know @Best agrees 🙂.
If you can @kitkopool replace them with either a full bore lever valve or a decent quality gatevalve e.g. Peglers / Conex.
