Amazing place that's been here forever, first brought here in the 70s by my folks. Always something new and interesting... and an great variety of speciality items too. Some seaside shops like this sell overpriced tat, but not this spot - very good prices and astonishing stock.read more

What a great little shop and very friendly & helpful staff! We took items to them that David Duggleby had just turned... their noses up at, as if the items were worthless and we were wasting their time! The staff at ‘antique and collectors centre’ were very polite & respectful and gave us cash on the spot for all the items we brought in. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again.read more

I have made many purchases on line from this shop. The service is incredible completely trustworthy and everything has... been excellent particularly the old coins. I receive a photo to view before I buy and I haven’t been disappointed yet. When we visit Scarborough we always make a point of calling it’s a treasure trove inside. I can’t thank them enough for all the help I have been given.read more
