Obviously the Northern Quarter is all about cool record shops, trendy vintage clothes and kitsch…read moreaccessories. However, all of the cool people around still need to buy gum, cigarettes and a can of pop every now and then. Just like the rest of us. That's where Walia News comes in. It's located just around the corner from Piccadilly Records, sandwiched in between an exclusive t-shirt shop and a drugs accessories shop, appropriately enough. Walia News has an almost ridiculous number of filthy magazines on its top shelf. It's a long top shelf. But for the less filthy-minded amongst us (me), there are plenty of normal magazines and papers on offer too. The guy serving at Walia News is kind of stern. We're not going to best friends. Apart from these things, Walia News is just a newsagents innit.

It is a typical newsagents but the amount of magazines it has stocked up is kind of the first thing you would notice! Every kind one could ever think of! (For the very clean slated minds as well as the perverted kinds) Apart from the magazines, think chewing gum, cigarettes, food and anything a newsagents could have. It comes in aid of the needs for all the vintage loving people dwelling in here!

Located in Canning Gate Shopping Centre, within Leigh town centre, it is opposite Ryman and close to the Bus Station. Cannings and WHSmith Local is the full name of this location. The store was small, but they had a decent selection of most items you'd expect to find from WHSmith, including a lottery desk at the back, meaning there were two separate tills to help ease queuing, they had a small selection of drinks too but sadly they didn't stock Lipton Ice Tea. 3* - This store is OK, one of the better newsagents within the town centre (especially if you don't fancy going into a supermarket), and a unique concept.

Pretty much the only reason I visit now is to pick up a few pasties when I'm doing the lunch run and working from home (Dad, Brother & I all work in the same place 2/3 days a week). As a kid, I'd come in here close to every day and spend my hard earned pocket money - it either came from doing the dishes or scoring a goal at football - ok yes I was a little spoilt - but boy would it go quickly in here! Though that is probably a large part of why I tried so hard to score goals so perhaps my dad had something there.. anyway. Your usual newsagent options in here, not quite as large a selection of sweets than I previously remember but that seems to be the case everywhere these days. 50p charge for card payments under £8.

They also stock loads of traditional sweets, penny chews etc, fresh milk, a good selection of greetings cards, general stationary, they have a lottery machine and a cash machine (however, you are charged for cash) Friendly staff and a convienient location. I think the newsagents might be called Village news now, it is next to Hampsons and Bargin Booze in Bromley Cross, opposite the Coop. Parking is very limited, use a side street if there is no parking outside.
