Weedon Royal Ordnance Depot, known widely as The Depot, is now a hub for an array of independent businesses.
The county’s best kept shopping secret is made up of an impressive collection of Grade II listed ordnance buildings from the 1900s.
Though this was once a place to store ammunition, weapons and equipment for the use of the army, it is now a thriving destination for businesses to open up.

The Antiquarium is located in Building 1 and the family-run business was taken over by Jenny Coleman during the last half-a-decade.
