Yesterdays World

With no real sign to the store you only discover what this place is called from the tiny print out stuck in the doorway.
It is jam packed from floor to ceiling with stuff, so much so that there should be a designated one way system to navigate the store otherwise it’s traffic jam central. It is a treasure trove of stuff, literally stuff. There are cabinets full off wade figurines, multiple coffee and tea services, furniture, books, mattresses, clocks, pretty much anything you can imagine is probably hiding in here somewhere. There are stacks loads of books at the back that i was desperate to much through but because of a pile of mattresses and heap of other stuff in front of the cabinets I couldn’t get anywhere near them.
Price points vary with really cute 50’s coffee sets for £4 to G plan furniture from £80. You can definitely bag a bargain here but on other things the owners really know what they have and price accordingly.
I was tempted by several things but didn’t buy so i’m not sure how they are on the old haggle but give them a try, I’m sure there is room for manœuvre.

I’d parked right at the bottom of the high street, so on my way into the centre of Halesowen this was the first shop I came to. And it’s not a terrible place to start — particularly for someone who loves antiques and secondhand trinkets.
The shop is heaving with stock, all higgeldy-​piggeldy jammed in, with two ludicrously narrow aisles to navigate down — definitely not a space for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and my large frame struggled squeezing past other shoppers without causing a landslide!
I spent some time drooling over some seascape paintings that most people would think were vile, but eventually concluded I have enough bad 70s art on my walls at the moment. Should I feel like having a change around, I’ll head back here to stock up on some more vintage pictures!
