Mitchells has been in the same place in the centre of the High Street for many years and is still…read morerun by the same family. There is parking outside so it is easily accessible. It is fairly basically laid out, they have a huge range of newspapers and magazines on display as you would expect and they also have quite a large stock of gift cards. At the main counter there is also a wide choice of sweets and chocolates to tempt you and they have a freezer where they stock and sell ice creams and lollies. They have quite a few paper boys and girls who cover quite a substantial area of Northallerton daily delivering papers and magazines, and if they haven't got it in stock and its something you want they will endeavour to track it down for you.

The main Warehouse is on Linthorpe road, right in the centre and very easy to find. There is also a…read moreconcession in Debenhams over the road and House of Fraser. All VERY close together so it is easy to find something in a different size if the shop you're in does not have one. Warehouse is quite expensive to me, although I generally quite like their tailored looks and lace this season I find £50 min for a dress quite pricey so generally shop in sales here which are quite good and they have some great reductions. Warehouse does not do shoes apart from flip flops in summer. They stock a nice range on jewellery and often reduce it all to a pound in the sakes. I've always found the staff to be very helpful and polite and always offer advice if you need it.

You will also find accessories to complement you clothing purchases in the form of bags and necklaces. Student discount is also offered here.

Part of my compulsive obsessive routine as a teenager was to head to Smiths every Saturday for my…read morecopy of 2000AD. But I bought Toxic from Books and Comics for some reason. But that was PROPER WH Smiths, down in the Castle Centre near Wilkinsons. This is a newer, one level WhSmith, which is slightly stranger to fathom. It is possibly a bit bigger than the previous one but it's NOT THE SAME. It still has all the stuff you'd want from a WH Smith, without the size or stock of a Borders.

This is a great little WH Smiths branch located on Wellington Square in Stockton Town Centre. It's…read morenot as big as the Middlesbrough store by a long way but they've managed to fit a bit of everything in. To the rear of the store there's DVD's CD's and Games, then there's games, stationary and gifts and towards the front of the store there are newpapers and magazines and an extensive book department, which is the highlight of the shop.
