@annied Thank you so much for your comment Annie, normally there are cars parked outside spoiling the view:)

Amazing history here!

[Peter Grave]

Lovely old building Peter.Nice to see it still being used instead of the general trend of today " knock it down and build some eye sore".

[Lou Ann]

Fabulous building, so wonderful to see a company embrace history instead of shunning it.

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel walked passed many times but had no idea what was inside until I took some items in for cleaning:)

@peterlgrave Thank you for your lovely comments Peter, its difficult to get planning permission to demolish old buildings over here if they are structurally sound:)

[Peter]

Thank you Lou Ann the owner only has a few things on show but they are very interesting:)

[Peter]

@rosiekind Thank you for your comment and Fav Rosie, I've tried a few times to get a shot but there always seems to be cars or delivery vans outside but not this time:)

What a cool structure - and a fascinating place of business. The antiques housed inside look so interesting. What a great idea!

@dide Thank you for your lovely comment Dianne, most towns and cities have lots of old buildings still available to the photographer unfortunately getting a nice perspective tends to be a challenge with all the modern street furniture and parked cars:)

[Peter]

@suesouthwood Thank you Sue, the shop counter area is only a small part of the building the working areas out of sight, but its still nice to see and read about the items on show whilst waiting your turn:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you Babs tracing the history was interesting turned out the Salvation Army had a previous building and it has the blue history plaque "commemorates a link between that location and a famous person or event, serving as a historical marker" for some reason this one does not)

@stray_shooter Thank you for your comment Ron , I was interested to see the antique washing machine made in the USA in 1894 that still works, I'm sure it was way ahead of its time:)
