Chamber 20 - Red Delicious

Chamber 20 - Red Delicious was the second chamber after entering the main walkway through Chamber - 12 Snow.

Originally it looked out into the garden in the middle and also had light coming in from Chamber 26 - Sheppards Delight; the chamber and corridor running along the car park.

From 1993 through to mid-2010 Page Antiques held this space selling imported antique furniture. 

In mid-2010 Julian Phillips Trading took on this space, they sold English continental furniture and interesting related items. In September 2019 they decided to shrink their space down to the quarter of the chamber overlooking the 'garden in the middle' area.

On 18th September 2019 Jan Hearn Antiques moved from Chamber 11 - Five Crown into this chamber, taking on the remaining side of the chamber.

On 1st March 2020 Julian Phillips Trading vacated the space they had held and Jan Hearn Antiques took on the whole of Chamber 20 - Red Delicious.

In late-July 2022 Jan Hearn, the owner of Jan Hearn Antiques passed away after a short illness, and her business ceased trading at Tyabb Packing House Antiques.

In late 2022 Antique By Design (who also held the neighbouring Chamber 11 - Five Crown) took on this chamber as well. They set about making the space their own; putting up curtains blocking views into Chamber 26 - Sheppards Delight and most of the light coming in from the windows as well.

In 2023 Circa Antiques had taken on this chamber, featuring antique furniture, curios and other unique items.
