Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, your nostalgia news show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
Of all the places I visited in the UK, there was one that stood out to me as a huge fan of Retro, and that was Harrogate, England. Harrogate is a quaint little tourist SPA town of 75k and it was well worth the drive.
I got a chance to visit not just 1, but 2 different Vintage Retro Stores in this amazingly beautiful place.
The first place I visited was the RETRO CAVE where I got to meet the owner and chit chat a little about the store.
The place was a bit small, but there was TONS of great vintage and retro finds in the store, so you could easily spend a half hour or so in there and not get to see everything.
The owner was a little camera sky but he let me film the whole store which had 1000’s of cool items to look at.
He had a 1987 Commodore Amiga 500 that really caught my eye, but I knew I couldn’t haul that great find back to the US, so I had to pass it up.
There was also some really old lunch boxes, some old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures still in the original packaging, and a TON of household knick knakcs which were great.
The store definitely leaned toward the gamer side with his collection of 100’s of Retro games and consoles for sega, nintendo, playstation, and a few other systems,
but he still had a healthy amount of stuff not related to games -so I wouldn’t really call it a game store.
Let me shut up for a second so you guys can concentrate on the video and see all the totally awesome stuff this guy was selling!
So, that was the RETRO CAVE in Harrogate. Again, the ower was really cool, had a small shop that had tons of cool retro stuff, and I highly recommend you visit it if your ever near LEEDS or Northern England.
Then Next store I went to was called SPACE: Vintage and Retro. This store was also in Harrogate and just a few blocks away from RETRO CAVE. The person there would not let me video the store, so I had to take pictures to show you guys how great this place was.
It was a lot larger store and when walking in it really did feel like you had been transported back to the 1960’s or 70’s. There was some Beetles playing in the background and it really helped set the mood for the store.
The store consists of multiple sellers that sell vintage items, so its sorta hard to haggle with the owners on price, unless they happen to be there working at the time.
I only mention this, cause I saw a awesome SWATCH Maxi wall clock that I really wanted to buy, but I wanted to work on the price and the owner wasn’t there to talk to.
SPACE Vintage and RETRO by far had the largest collection of great vintage clothing, retro gadgets, household items, and knick knacks of all the places I saw while in England.
So, props to them for having a good idea on what people like. I would have bought most of the stuff in the store if I had the money and room for it.
And there you have it guys, The RETRO CAVE and SPACE Vintage and Retro. 2 really fun stores that are totally worth checking out.
And last thing is for my English Pal Odd Pod, who hosts the Odd Pod show, across the pond there in the UK. Man, I tried the crumpets and they were not too bad with some butter.
I really liked them with the rasberry or marmalade jam. But I have to tell you brother, I tried MARMITE and that stuff had to be the grossest thing I ever put on a muffin in my entire life.
I think you had to be messing with me, cause that stuff was gross!
HAHA..
And my last UK shoutout is for RPKvids; If your into cool little fidget toys and puzzles, he’s got a cool youtube channel for that sorta stuff.
Anyways guys. I really hope you all enjoyed this video. Be sure to like, comment, and Subscribe to the channel so you can be a part of our Retro Tribe.
