The bunting has been hung and the window is a treasure trove of colourful royal memorabilia ahead of the Coronation weekend. But it will be a bittersweet time for the Potter family as the well-known Potters’ Antiques & Coins will close later this month after opening the shop every morning on Colston Street for over half a century.
The shop is jam-packed with an amazing array of antiques and vintage items from bygone eras, including coronation collectibles from Queen Victoria’s Coronation and King Charles’ wedding to Princess Diana. Tara Potter said the shop was opened by her mother, Joe in the 1960s.
Her father, Brian took it over from her mother after about a decade, but he died last year, aged 92. Tara confirmed that the historic building, close to the Christmas Steps, has been sold with new owners due to take occupation in June. She said 'everything must go'.
