Antiques, Vintage Treasures, Retro Pieces and Curios
Morpeth Antique Centre的点评
点评:The Morpeth Antique Centre is one of the main attractions in Morpeth. It’s an Aladdin’s cave of antiques, vintage treasures, retro pieces and curios.
25 dealers are gathered together over two levels, making it something of a rabbit warren and fun to explore.
The centre is housed inside the old Campbell’s Store building, which is also one of the historic sights on the Morpeth Heritage Walking Trail.
Even for those who are not in the least bit interested in antiques or shopping, there are a lot of fun pieces and curious items.
Out the back is an original slab hut cottage of the kind built by the first settlers. Next to it is an old brake van. Built in the 1860s for a private railway line, it transported coal from the Minmi mines to the ships at Hexham.
Inside, it’s a treasure trove spread over two levels. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, its impossible to see everything. We spent a lot of time reminiscing over nostalgic kids’ toys and trying on hats in the upstairs section.
There’s also a small cafe in the old servants’ quarters. The scones looked great although we didn’t stop here this time.
NOTE: The centre is only open Thursday to Sunday, but it has long opening hours, from 10am – 5pm.
翻译:莫珀斯古董中心是莫珀斯的主要景点之一。这是一个充满古董、古董珍宝、复古单品和古玩的阿拉丁洞穴。
25 名经销商聚集在两个楼层,使其成为一个兔子窝,探索起来充满乐趣。
该中心位于旧的坎贝尔商店大楼内,这也是莫珀斯遗产步行道上的历史景点之一。
即使对于那些对古董或购物一点也不感兴趣的人来说,这里也有很多有趣的物品和好奇的物品。
后面是第一批定居者建造的原始板屋小屋。旁边是一辆旧刹车车。它建于 1860 年代,是一条私人铁路线,将煤炭从 Minmi 煤矿运输到赫克瑟姆的船只。
在里面,它是一个分布在两层的宝库。除非你有很多空闲时间,否则不可能看到所有的东西。我们花了很多时间回忆怀旧的儿童玩具,并在楼上试戴帽子。
老仆人宿舍里还有一家小咖啡馆。尽管我们这次没有停在这里,但烤饼看起来很棒。
注意:该中心仅在周四至周日开放,但开放时间较长,为上午 10 点至下午 5 点。
