I have been a fan of Gina Marshall’s work after buying a print of Clavell Tower. I was delighted to meet with Gina to discuss a commission, and left her warm and welcoming shop with an original of Kimmeridge Bay and a handful of cards.

Swanage's Antiques Centre - 4 floors with more than 20 traders: a wide range of antique, vintage and retro items housed in an old bank. Don't forget to take a look at our old bank vaults downstairs, and browse the retro and vintage fashions down there!

Reviewed By charliemF1942LJ

What a wonderful emporium of vintage collectables. The staff are helpful and friendly and amusing too. There is such a variety of stuff to browse here. The vaults are very interesting as it used to be a bank. And upstairs you can get good food at a low price. All in all well worth a visit!
