I find the wide expanse of Deal and Walm...

We are 2068, sellers of vintage and retro goods and collectables. We successfully traded in south London until 2012 when we came to Deal. Since our arrival we have grown to love the town and are not at all surprised at the number of accolades heaped on Deal in the past year or so.
