About
Forest Mill Antiques
An antiques centre with character, history and the pleasure of discovery.
The Story So Far
From A Handful Of Stalls To A Mill Full Of Stories
Forest Mill Antiques is run by Russell, a second-generation antiques dealer who first got the taste for the trade as a teenage porter in an auction house.
What began as a handful of stalls has grown into a proper antiques centre of around thirty independent dealers, each sourcing their own stock and bringing their own eye for what is worth keeping.
The idea has always been simple: a wide mix of genuine pieces for different tastes and budgets, in a place where people actually enjoy browsing.
A Place, Not Just A Shop
Thirty independent dealers, each with their own corner and their own expertise. Nobody here buys to a formula, which is why the mill holds Georgian mahogany, industrial lighting and a case of pocket watches within a few steps of one another.
