Lovers of all things vintage and retro will soon be able to scour for treasures at a new emporium.

Work is under way to prepare for the opening of the new This Is Quite Interesting store in Bevan Street East in Lowestoft.

It is the project of experienced second-hand dealer Steve Harvey, who claims it will be the most easterly vintage emporium in the country and the only shop of its kind in the Suffolk town. 

"The new store will have multiple traders selling all sorts of interesting antiques and retro and vintage items," he said.

"I've been in the trade for a long time now and have gathered so much stock it will be great to have the space to display it all.

"With more and more people interested in buying second hand it seemed like a great time to open."

There is currently no opening date announced yet but Mr Harvey is hard at work preparing the store to be ready for the summer months.
