The Train at Platform 3 is for Arcadia

Advent in Arcadia continues in the Just in, Sir wing of my website with a piece of cardboard Made in Gt. Britain and advertising a set of Fly Rod Rings for Milbro Fishing Tackle, who famously took a railway carriage converted into a Fishing Tackle Shop on a tour of outlying platforms at provincial Railway Stations across Arcadia in the decade known as the 1950's.

Space Rocket to Planet Svangsta

An intrepid band of Arcadianauts took the Space Rocket to Planet Svangsta yesterday afternoon in their wood panelled capsule known as the bar called The Social.  The next Space Rocket from Arcadia leaves from The Social at 1pm next Saturday where, as part of the Social Christmas Market, Mr. Edwyn Collins will be playing songs whilst myself and the Empress of Arcadia will be selling Vintage Fishing Tackle for the Soul and Selected Fashion Labels and Bespokery.

A Swedish Christmas in Arcadia

You are given notice that from the time known roughly as  1 o'clock today Andrews of Arcadia will meet Abu Svangsta Uptown in the upstairs bar of the The Social Christmas Market.  The door to a Swedish Christmas Past will remain open on my stall until roughly 6 o'clock.  I look forward to your good company.

Mr. Griffiths' Bream

Advent in Arcadia continues with a rare piece of Tackle Shop Display Material found hanging from the ceiling of a lost Tackle Shop in the zone known as The Midlands, a Martinez & Bird miniature billboard immortalising Mr. Griffiths' Bream, now residing in the "Just in, Sir" wing.

'Advent in Arcadia' Opens

The traditional end of year selling exhibition known as 'Advent in Arcadia' opened this evening after a convivival day at the market, a drive home through the rain, and a bottle of Pale Ale with the propping up in the "Just in, Sir" Room of a Counter Card from the decade the 1960's for Spratt's Angler's Bait, rendered in heavy duty cardboard.

T.H Sowerbutts & Son of Commercial Street

Once Upon a Time in Arcadia with the exception of a Thursday afternoon when they closed early, ladies and gentlemen finding themselves at a loose end on Commercial Street, in the district of London known as E1, would call in at T.H. Sowerbutts & Son, the renowned Fishing Rod and Tackle Specialist who were situated at No. 151.

Today in Arcadia it is Thursday, and soon it will be the afternoon, but this morning up until gone lunch, as on other Thursdays you are welcome to visit my stall in Spitalfields Antiques Market on Commercial Street, less than 5 minutes walk from Sowerbutts old premises.  I may not be as renowned a Fishing Rod or Tackle Specialist but I do have a rather fine selection of Vintage Fishing Tackle for the Soul for sale and am always keen to meet people with memories of Sowerbutts.
