The Merchants of the Old Town

The little shop at 68 High Street is packed. Curiosity enthusiasts crowd the narrow aisles among piles of “stuff.” They come from all over Sussex and beyond. There is a woman who comes from Berlin to buy a silver candlestick. Some, at least ten a day, are other traders looking to refill their stock. And everyone knows Robert, the landlord, collector and dealer. And Robert knows everyone.

The tall, talkative octogenarian, a former chef and hotel manager, is the oldest merchant in Old Town. He took over a fish and mark shop in 1990 after ten years in Africa, stocked it with over 10,000 used books, crockery, cutlery, old children’s toys, maps, tools, glasses, bottles and jugs, cameras, postcards and all kinds of odds and ends, and he called it “Robert’s Rummage”.

The place fills with laughter as he jokes around with the men and compliments the ladies. His personality dominates the store. Robert’s attitude is displayed on the wall: “It’s good to be important, but it’s extra important to nice.” He buys and sells, 50% trade and at least 70% local, but when someone drops by to give him a free item, he puts money in his charity box and donates it to reasons like the Ukraine Campaign.
