Step Back in Time

This shop is a treasure trove of delights and discoveries.I've visited several times and would go there more if I could.The wealth of material, of postcards and photos, are fascinating and help bring alive the history of the area in a tangible way.I can see the streets I walked and places I knew, in times past. Cinemas, shops, pubs, the piers, restaurants and cafes, the seaside and beaches and the villages and towns and countryside. Many places that are gone or changed significantly.I can recapture scenes that no longer exist. Memories are brought back, triggered by the images.I can See where ancestors and others lived, worked, played and more. How people dressed and the changes in fashion.. The differences in social classes. The transport of the times, often ones I want aware of. Faces from the past, even one or two of relatives or people I had seen, on stage or screen.I can see life that was very different to now. I can get insights into the lives of others and remember times in my own life too.The owner, Rob is very helpful and knowledgeable. He's helped me several times with research into my family and the area. If he doesn't know something about the local area, he very likely knows someone who does.He has far more than just local items too. He has postcards and images of places near and far and on a myriad of subjects and times.The shop is aptly named and I will gladly step back in time again.

An excellent place with a very friendly proprietor. They sell prints, photographs and postcards at reasonable prices. They have a lot of postcards, etc. of Brighton, as well as the surrounding area. The proprietor also does regular auctions.

Very friendly lady with vast knowledge , also talked to her about dogs , a shared passion

Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Helped with all my photo queries and even gave me an email address to contact them again if I needed any help.

Check out the postcards downstairs, you could be there for days!

This shop is a gem. It has a wide range of retro items including football prints and programmes, stamps, old adverts, prints of birds, and many interesting vintage prints of the Brighton area. The staff are friendly and helpful and I will certainly be paying a visit every time I am down this way. Strongly recommended.

Great place for memorabilia, postcards and local history books etc. Had just what I needed at a very fair cost.
