Random quirky bits and bobs! A mixture of pre-owned and new. Collectables, antiques, and memorabilia. Some items are ridiculously overpriced and some are absolute bargains. No in-between. Great finds if you know your stuff. Can be a hit or miss each visit. No structure, more of a scavenge hunt. Fun rummaging through. Central location. Mainly cash only. Friendly staff.

The high Lord Vader at entrance catch my eyes and push me in. Hard to find such kind of shops nowadays. Should protect and love the culture. Little messy in the shop but can find your favourite books or toys in it if you have enough patience to do it.

First time going today, they have a lot of cool unique stuff. A lot of military stuff. However I’d only recommend this place to men because some creeps are there. A drug user was there asking for the boss while I was trying to buy something and was asking if I was single and can I keep a secret, how he’ll speak to me later. It’s also kinda musty. Girls or femme people only go if you’re with some guys. (Also I know he was using bec unfortunately I’ve had a relative who was the same and sadly passed)

What a unique place ! They have a lot of vintage stuff, Toys, Books, Vinyl, VHS, etc. Also, they are very kind and funny. If you visit Manchester, you must check that one !

A secret treasure trove, you really never know what you will find. I love popping in here, sometimes I don't find anything. Others I will find something really exciting and unexpected. It has a wide range of tresures!

It's a beautiful and vintage shop where you can literally find everything but today I went mostly for books where most of them are old or before the 2000s anyway but you can find more contemporary novels here and there. The till is an old one with that distinctive click everytime it's opened or closed. Very good experience today

Hidden gem! Full of all sorts of stuff, could spend hours rumaging around. Always find something cool and pop-culture related to bring home. Affordable prices too which is rare nowadays and much appreciated 👍🏻 can be hit or miss but that’s part of the fun! …

A wonderful gem of a place. I could have spent hours wandering around the store and chatting with the brilliant owner (who has some fantastic stories to tell). Alas, we had falafel to buy (from the store next door) and a train to catch at Manchester Piccadily so we picked up a glass slipper, a vinyl album (Spotlight on Della Reese, Gloria Lynne and Al Hibbler) and a 7" single (Frank Sinatra's 'The Lady Is A Tramp". Next time i visit I'm staying longer - the place deserves the time!
