Arundel Eccentrics Decorative Antiques and the Fabulous Town We Live In
Arundel Eccentrics Decorative Antiques
We live and work in the stunning
country town of Arundel in Sussex UK.
country town of Arundel in Sussex UK.
A town steeped in history.
Castle on one hill.
Cathedral on another.
A beautiful river running through.
Cottages and Georgian houses.
Houses built by Napoleonic prisoners of war.
A theatre so small it's like a dolls house.
Ghost and riverside tours.
Festivals, music and art trails
Walks into a Sussex countryside so gorgeous they leave you breathless.
We are a husband and wife team
with an antiques showroom in a large warehouse in Arundel
and a Victorian cottage by the river at the other end of the road.
The warehouse was originally a 19th century brewery.
The Swallow Brewery.
It now houses, instead of ales,
........an interesting and varied collection of English and French antiques.
Open to the public
Friday Saturday Sunday 10-4 pm
All other times are trade appointments.

That was a long time ago and I suspect I remember
