Pilgrims Antiques Centre Posting Number 3. West Street as an antiques Centre

Welcome again to Pilgrims Antiques Centre.

I have no new photos for you this week. I decided to wait until Google or other search engines could find this blog.
And now my Pilgrims Antiques Centre blog is listed - so hooray! I can continue to pass on news from our happy community.

The shop is always worth a visit. The window displays are always good - Hallowe'en has gone now and a display focusing on rich autumn colours is in place - lots of copper and wood. And this week many people have been re-organising their own areas to highlight new things.
JW brought in a satinwood chest of drawers yesterday.
MC has a fabulous modernist circular mirror.
WGM has a boxed 1950s Hornby Dublo train set.
PM changed her whole area - maybe just to show off the beautiful large Glyn Colledge bowl.
And so on........ whenever each of us goes in to do a duty day it is interesting to look around to see what the other people have brought in.

But we are not the only antiques shop in West Street, Dorking. It is a street renowned for antiques.

Yesterday my husband and I had a look around one of the others. We will do this often and report back to you.
The biggest is probably Talbot House Antiques.
We found our visit to be a very pleasant experience. The many showrooms are well set out and all is very comfortable, with carpeted floors and faux open fires burning in the grates.
The range of items sold is vast from items costing below £20 to fine furniture.

This web site lists antiques shops and centres in West Street. I can't vouch for all of the shops being open at this time - life is constantly changing.
And it doesn't mention the antiques shop which opened most recently in September - that is Chanticleer.
Just one look at the list would suggest that you might like to make a day of it - browse the antiques shops, have some lunch and then maybe take a walk on Box Hill.

Finally this week I will share with you the website for James Roberts Antiques - the one immediately opposite Pilgrims Antiques Centre in the building where William Mullins lived before he set sail on The Mayflower with the Pilgrim fathers.
