    I visited this place for the first time on Saturday 8th October. You have to pay a small fee for…read morelifetime membership which I didn't mind. The stuff inside is amazing. It varies from genuine antiques to curiosities from your childhood. And there's so much of it. There's even a cheap cafe that serves reasonably good snacks. So, why the one star review I hear you say? That's because the man on the security desk was bigoted, rude and deliberately upset me. I saw something a friend might like but it was in a broken box. There were plenty of others at the same price so I asked if I could swap the plastic case. The security man referred to me using male pronouns while speaking to his colleague then called me sir. At 6' I am tall but I'm not a man and this was just plain rude. Later on I passed him in another area and I held his gaze. He didn't apologise but stared back as though he'd done nothing wrong. If you're physically within the average range for your gender and you want an afternoon of interesting things to look at then go - I bought lots of things to decorate my apartment - though I won't be going back because of the attitude of the security man. What's worse is that after he'd said those things the other two security guards stared at me as though trying to decide if I was a man wearing a skirt!!! If Botany Bay is a sister company then I won't be going there either. It seemed as though these people have never seen a tall woman before.

    An old mill converted to a high class shopping market/mall. Unusual gifts and furniture. A sister…read morecompany to Botany Bay which is similar. Only disadvantage is that you have to pay to get in but definitely worth a look especially if you're decorating your house.

    Yes, I'm a little bit odd and like owning stuff nobody else has, and usually this means either…read moremaking it myself, having it made by somebody else, or finding really old stuff that doesn't get made anymore. As far as the latter goes, it seems this is a catching on trend, and is known as 'vintage'. Everyone wants something vintage. Which makes me want it less. However, 69A manages to keep me grounded. It's just off-the-cuff enough to stay out of mainstream, and has a feeling that you've clambered into the boot of a Lada at a car boot sale (those not as old fashioned as me may want to google Lada cars...) It is packed with goodies from all eras, and has enough variety to keep you sifting through for a whole afternoon, should the feeling take you. Hopefully not about to be hijacked by the kids who view it as a fad, 69A has been around long enough to hold its own in the vintage stakes and outlast the craze. And then I can go back to liking vintage again.

    I always come here for a browse, just because I'm never really sure what I'm going to find!…read more Dust-covered hardback poetry and prose share shelving happily with Dance and Acid House records and 18th century chinese dynasty clocks share cabinet space with tatty looking curios. It is all seemingly a jumbled explosion of antiques with an Art Deco style figure, worth £450 rubbing shoulders with a disused chimney pot. However, clearly although there are second hand clothes, earrings, ties galore, records and brooches, knick-knacks and badges there are also some pretty good buys if you fancy yourself as a bit of a collector (or at least have seen enough episodes of Antiques Roadshow to think you can spot a bargain). Mainly you need to look up to see these, the expensive stuff tends to be locked away or like the vases which line the walls, a little out of reach. In the glass cases at the front I noticed 69A has a great selection of pottery from Poole's to a really cool 1960s Wedgewood blown glass art vase. The wierdest thing that sticks out in my mind which I've seen in one of the back cabinets is an unused pair of 1965 pajamas Age 2-3 still in its cellophane. Odd. So come here if you want an interesting and strange trip back in time!
