Time Was 

opens its door in Newark

In a time when more and more businesses are migrating their business to the web it's nice to be able to announce a brand new real-world shop materializing slap bang in the middle of Newark. At the beginning of April the 'Time Was' sci-fi and TV memorabilia shop opened its door to the public at the town's Buttermarket Shopping Centre.

Time Was will be a familiar name to collectors who make pilgrimages to toy fairs and collecting events, especially in the Midlands. It was the success at these shows that prompted Anne and Jackie Andrews to take the plunge and open their very own permanent shop. Now collectors can drop and have a look at the wealth of TV and film related collectables on offer, including Red Dwarf, Star Wars and a very healthy selection of Doctor Who merchandise.

The investment of a physical shop doesn't mean that Time Was has not caught on to the opportunities the Internet has to offer. Their website, www.timewasshop.co.uk, is a great extension to their new shop and also lets you know when the Time Was team will be out and about at those all-important collecting events.

The new shop is situated at Unit 20, The Buttermarket Shopping Centre, Newark. For more information call Anne or Jackie on 01529412348.
