Review of Failsworth Mill Antiques

Failsworth Mill and The Cavern Antiques Centre 
Think of house clearances from the homes of elderly deceased people or if you know me think of my grandparents attic. The mill is packed full of stuff and it very much depends on your personal taste as to whether you describe the stuff you see as retro, vintage, shabby chic or a just a pile of old junk. What should be celebrated about the mill is the diversity of the stuff on offer... books, cast iron fireplaces, props from films, tea sets, army surplus, old photos, vintage lace dresses, clocks, pianos, an ejector seat from an aircraft... the list is endless. Some of the furniture is actually really lovely, nothing is displayed with care but that adds to the charm of the place. Sandra's cafe is on site for strong tea and fry ups. There's a really good picture framing service here too. The turnover of stock isn't great so don't expect to visit and see a regular selection of new items and they're closed on Saturdays but if you've ever thought of picking up stuff to sell on ebay this would be good place to start.
