Antiquarian Records & Books
Finally a place where vinyl lovers can unite and spend hours delving into past treasures which have paved the way for the evolution of some fine music. You can even discuss a great record find with the masters behind the counter, who have seen many a fine record pass through their hands. Browse the racks and find that a reasonably high turnover of goods allows prices to remain rational as opposed to the collector's estimation. Be sure to view the second-hand gramophones, record players, books and array of science fiction toys from Transformers to Star Wars figures.

Also available are Brit presses, local fanzines and an impressive range of T-shirts. Upstairs is dedicated to second-hand vinyl and collectables.

Some more peculiar items include an Indian palace door transformed into a dining table, a huge horse carved out of stone and traditional artefacts designed to ward off evil.
