‘ Insitu ‘ Achitectural Salvage in Manchester
I had the unenviable task of taking the car for it’s M.O.T which was booked in a remote part of Manchester. I had an hour to kill so I set off for a stroll to explore the local area. As luck would have it, I came across Insitu an Arcitectural Salvage place that also specialised in Vintage items from Planet Vintage Girl. What a lucky find. Let me give you a flavour.
It’s such an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful things for all parts of the home, that I’d defy any vintage mind to not find something of interest. Lovely ceramics from the 60’s and 70’s.
Door knockers, handles, stained glass and statues for all occasions.
Some to even keep guard ! All kinds and styles of doors.
Pictures, paintings, tapestries and even weird and wonderful finds, can be found.
There’s a whole three floors worth and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, it’s quite a building.
More ceramics and vintage clothing too.
Fireplaces of all kinds.
These wonderful Ercol 1960’s day beds would look amazing with a vintage print foam cushions on it.
Stained glass reclaimed from the windows of houses, shops and churches alike.
You never quite know what’s lurking around the corner.
A breath of fresh, or rather vintage air and definitely not one to be missed if you’re after that something quirky or unique for your home. Many thanks to the owners for letting me take some shots to show you all too. An hour well spent, I’ll come back again.
wow! my brother would love that place ….thanks for sharing, looks like its worth a visit.
Hi Mandy, my pleasure. Ask your brother to let them know where he heard about the place if he gets there lol Cheers for the comment.
Oh wow! For once, I would have been delighted if the MOT had taken a day, trouble is, I think my car would have been full going home! What a fab place.
Yep thats the only problem, if the car doesn’t cost you money then the hour spent in here will certainly make up for it ! Thanks for your comment Mel.
Only an hour? Great building too.
Any longer and my bank manager starts getting nervous !
A treasure trove! I would love to have a good rummage in this place. (^0^)
Leave the cheque book at home, or don’t blame me if you don’t lol
So you DIDN’T BUY ANYTHING ?
I nearly bought a coffee pot that I didn’t need, but then I came to my senses lol
I’m jealous, but then again I’ll still afford to eat at the weekend…
Thankfully me too
