At a time when high streets are becoming homogenised it's refreshing to find a town, like Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, that's bucking that trend and embracing individual, exclusive shops like .



's on the High Street is a quirky little fossilshop with a difference. Yes , you will find fossils and crystals, shark teeth and dinosaur bones, ancient artefacts and tribal art but the thing that makes this shop unique is himself.



Jim is a larger than life character, an amazing story teller with a fantastic tale behind every item in his shop and if you fancy doing some dinosaur digging yourself, he'll show you what you should be looking for and tell you the best places to go fossil hunting on the island.
