Hadrian Coins and Antiquities is the website of Julie and John Higham, based in the UK, now in the County of Derbyshire.
Our
first career was as secondary school teachers, Julie teaching French and
Spanish, John teaching History.
After retiring from teaching in 1985 we opened an Antique Shop in Carlisle which
proved very popular and successful.
Over the years we began to specialise, particularly in Antique Maps and in Roman
Coins and Antiquities.
In 2013, our landlord began building works to extend his premises so we closed
our shop to concentrate on our online business.
However we
have two showcases, one in Bookcase, the large Antiquarian Book
Shop
on Castle Street in the City of Carlisle, the other in the
Derwentside Antique Centre in Derwent Street, Belper, Derbyshire
In both we have coins from £5 to £100 and some selected antiquities.
