Housed in the beautiful former Methodist Church in Whitehaven Street is a treasure trove of sports memorabilia, antiques and collectibles.
John McCartan has many special and precious items in his vast collection, which has been collected over a period of many years - from vintage sport clothing and equipment, replica Olympic medals, books and artwork through to very collectible items such as Tin Tin and fire memorabilia.
Due to a strong demand, John produces sets of the six cricket figures that sit on his front lawn, each of them in an original cricket position. He sourced the moulds from England and he and his small team are making sets to order - the ultimate gift for the cricket lover.
A dream for all sports memorabilia collectors and lovers of antiques and collectibles, remember to pop in next time you are in Lawrence.
