Olivers Brighton

2017: Grand Opening, with queues extending down Trafalgar Terrace, 11th November 2017 [image info]

"Oliver's" is a "magicians' supplies" shop run by Oliver Dall ("A mystical emporium for all your wizarding needs") on Trafalgar Street, Brighton, specialising in Harry Potter merchandise.

The shop's grand opening was on 11th November 2017. The shop is in the upper half of Trafalgar Street, almost within sight of the Toy Museum.

Location

The shop is on the corner of Trafalgar Street and Trafalgar Terrace, a narrow "twitten" from the 1830s that apparently reminded Oliver of "Diagon Alley" in the Potter books.

The shop was previously "Ziggy's" music shop, and a wall next to the shop still carries a mural of David Bowie holding an electric guitar (Real Patisserie is on the other side of the mural).

During late 2017 the shop was extensively remodelled to look more like a traditional Victorian shop.
