Now, the shop has been honoured with a plaque, unveiled by Antiques Roadshow expert Wayne Colqhoun, officially recognising it as the oldest independent record shop in the country. Paula Quinn, Co-owner of The Musical Box, said: “We are deeply honoured that The Musical Box will have a permanent tribute and recognition for being the oldest Independent Record Shop in England. Paula said: "The shop sign needed replacing as the one that was up didn't have the original date on it. The dates didn't correspond, so we thought we'd get a new shop sign and now we're going more old school and getting it hand-painted." But it wasn't until the current shop sign was removed that the family discovered other ghost signs.
