It is with sadness I type this post. My good friend and probably one of the most interesting characters ever to have become an antique dealer died today 8th December 2015.



Brian, who in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's was probably the largest source of antiques for the American Market in the North West. During a one year span, he bought and packed 365 containers in one year, an average of one a day. In one month he organized 16 containers for me and my shops in the USA. Brian became a very good friend of mine from when I first met him in 1970 in the antique market above John Leader's Antique Shop at 1, King Street Southport. His personality and his humor will be missed.

Love you Brian

Rest in Peace
