Does anyone know where the antique fabric shop and old high street are that were featured on tonights Cracking Antiques? I guess Lincolnshire somewhere?

Would love to visit!

Thx

Hi there,
The shop is called Antique Textiles, and is run by the marvellous Catherine Shinn. You can find it in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and I can certainly recommend a visit! Alternatively, for instant satisfaction, you can visit her eBay shop here:

Hope you enjoy it,
Best wishes,

I would like to point out that the shop mentioned in the show is “Decorative Textiles”. Its address is 5 Well Walk, Cheltenham, GL50 3JX. The phone number is 01242 574546. It deals with antique articles mostly belonging to the 19th century. I have visited the shop on one occasion. It has got a really wonderful collection of antique items. The only complaint I have is that the articles are too costly. It is beyond the reach of middleclass women like me.
