The store layout is organised by colour which is handy too. Gets a bit squashy at busy times so best to go during the week (and when you've got plenty of time to survey all of the goodies!). Well worth a visit.

The shop is crammed full of…read morestuff and it can be difficult to look around but there is definitely something for everyone here. Some of the stock is quite cheap and tacky looking but they also have some amazing costume jewellery. The prices are all very reasonable, especially compared to places like Accessorize or Topshop jewellery.

This store has a large range of CD's, DVD's, Games Consoles and Ipods. All at great prices too,…read morethey offend have great deals on for DVD's like 3 for £20. But there is a down side to this store, although the shop is large theres alot jammed into it and it gets quite busy in there. The isles are quite squashed together and you find yourself having to push through people to get anywhere in the store. There are many tills at the front and back of the shop so when you do have to queue it isnt for too long!

HMV has a rather large store in opposite Boots the Chemist. It has a young feel to it and lots of…read moregood music playing. There is a vast selection of any CD you can imagine and really good deals. The staff are very helpful and will take orders over the phone and store for you; which saves time and hastle. They also sell DVD's and playstation etc games. My only complaint would be when it is busy and you have children it can be difficult to neogiate the isles. However this is not a real problem if you know what you want and ring and reserve it in the first place. A great place to go! Check out their deals as well.

I usually find that there are 2 main types…read moreof newsagents. the lasrge one, that sells stationary and has a post office, and little corner shops like this one. Its pretty much the standard corner shop, as well as selling the odd biro and some other cheap troys that probably will never be sold.

Muzart, a local legend…read more This is the only Musical instrument shop in Bishop's Stortford, and as such I for one was glad to see it re-open in new premesis (the old one was turned into yet another hairdressers). If your teenage son or daughter needs a first guitar, some strings, maybe a rattly little practice amp, or a book of Beatles chords, you will be very happy in here. Muzart sell a lot of low and moderately priced new guitars, basses and drums, and a few bits of woodwind, and they do the job for the price, but the products in this shop are very easy to grow out of. The shop, manned by a very quiet chap, ( I always feel I should whisper in here) sadly for him the smoking ban means he can's have his greasy roll-up instore anymore.

Baddow Antique Centre is situated in the lovely village of Great Baddow which is just outside…read moreChelmsford. It is very close to the A12 so is easy to get to. There are about 30 traders inside the building plus a coffee shop. It is open 7 days a week 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 11am to 5pm Sunday. There is a large free car park. Inside is like an Aladdin's cave full of treasures from furniture, jewellery, paintings, china, silver etc. You could spend hours looking at everything and hunting out something special. It's a good place to look for an unusual present or just a treat for yourself.

I took a chandelier to Vinyl Yours at Baddow Antiques Centre and was told that they would look to…read moresee if they had any interest and give me a call back in a couple of weeks. Tried calling to be told the person I needed to speak to was ill and no one could help me. After leaving a message he finally called after 2 months NOT 2 weeks to be told they had taken it to auction and at no point did they tell me this would happen, if I had wanted it to go to auction, I would have done that myself. They didn't even have the curtesy to call to see if this is what I had wanted and they even had my mobile and home number. If taking items to them be warned ensure you tell them exactly your wishes but not sure if they if listen to you anyway. Very upset, angry and annoyed...... Would never go there again would go elsewhere.

The jewllery isn't very well laid out in the wall cabinets but the ones around the till are, probably as it's where the expensive stuff is! An average shop, not often very busy.

This is really funny shop you never know what you are going to find in it…read more There are various carparks nearby none are free unfortunately and are often very busy and hard to get into. The prices are often good but it is always worth checking in Wilkinson or the poundshop if you are after something in particular. They sell similar stuff to Wilkinsons but it is all a bit more random. Stock includes a small amount of toiletries, books, tools, pet care and seasonal goods. They also sell clothes, sweets, storage boxes and baskets, kitchen goods, cups and picture frames. It is not usually busy and they are always happy to open up new checkouts but the staff can be a little slow.
