The House That Jack Built Monica Barbican Jeweler. Atlantic City. 14th March 2015

The House That Jack Built Monica Barbican Jeweler. Atlantic City. 14th March 2015 . Now Retired. thanks Monica. It has a lovely feeling about the building of being stuck in time, the narrow little corridors leading to one central point of water fountains, witches and gnomes rotating on poles. It is a memory which a lot people from Plymouth will have, feeling very small in a big wonderland of corridors, fairies and elves. I often hear people walking past the shop saying things like “it seemed much bigger when I was a kid” and “I used to Love this place”. Well the great thing is Kids do still love this place, it is a wonderful arcade with a wonderful history.

The Nash Family owned the building and it was a family run Fruit and veg wholesalers until in 1980, with inspiration from Jacks many trips to Cornwall and in particularly the Sloop Craft Market in St Ives the Warehouse was transformed. Over 2 years the building took shape and opened its doors in May 1982 as The House That Jack Built. Over the years slight changes have been made but as a whole the Arcade that Jack built has stayed the same.

Today it has a wonderful mix of Artists, Crafters, Jewellers, Retailers and our very own resident Tarot card reader. Chris Summerfield video and photography sine 1992.
