Get in, We’re Going Shopping

Bags empty, wallet full? Good, you’ll need all the extra space and cash you can get when shopping through Victoria Crescent. 

 

Let’s start first with the classic vintage collection: vinyl records, Walkmans, and everything audio and sound. Sound Heritage is the place to go; they have everything from vinyl to CDs to cassettes. Already have a good collection going? They also sell vintage stereos, record players, and even offer audio repair services. 

 

Right next door is A. Seng & Co. Vintage Studio, where you can find a mixture of vintage clothing, vinyls, uranium glass, jewellery, and more. They also offer photography services and sell vintage cameras and film.

 

Looking for something more flashy? Something truly unique? Blackbird Jewellers is the place for you! They offer handmade, custom-made jewellery, or you can shop from their collection.
