10-13 Westgate Mall, Bradford…read more BD1 1QR 01274 742060 This is the busyest and the best pound shop in town. They have some absolute bargains like dvds and cds for a quid and they are sometimes the best ones - i once bought the mask dvd for £8 from hmv and then found it in here for a quid. They have a good choice of books too - some really good ones for kids and some good ones for adults like biographies - the stock is always changing. They have a good range of medical items like lemsip and the like for a quid which is a bargain. They sell household items, the odd bits of food and drink and lots of choice in confectionary. They sell some good socks for kids and adults alike too. A really busy shop with lots and lots of bargain which keep changing - be patient and look about to find the bargains. The staff are too busy to chat but are lovely and friendly when ther have to be.

It is very good for cleaning supplies and toiletries, and surprisingly good for childrens' books and computer supplies. The problem with poundland is that, because it is so popular, it gets very busy and crowded, with queues that are forced in to the aisles. There is a lot of tills but not always the staff to fill them. Aside from that the store is very clean and tidy. The shelves are not cluttered and the store has a layout that makes sense, you cn quite easily find what you want.

14 Duckworth Lane, Bradford…read more BD9 5EP 01274 490417 This is based on the busy road into town from bradford royal infirmary so is in a prime position. This isnt your usual pound shop filled with the cheap things for a quid - they offer different items and it is quite good. The size is quite large inside and not nearly filled enough with stuff but as this is a newish business im sure it will be filled in no time. There is a good selection of food items and pops and confectionary and a good choice of toys and gifts and hardwares. They also offer a good choice of ethnic goods some of which are very unusual so if you like the unusual things this is a good unique shop. The window doesnt look convincing enough to guide you in as you only see the stock of pops, etc, but be amazed once you do see what is inside. The staff are very polite and friendly and very chatty. The store is very nice and clean and wellstocked - if they dont have what you want they go out of their way to convince you to let them get it in for you. There was a nice background music playing when i called which was ornamental and soothing - not too loud. lovely shop.

Kirkgate Shopping Centre has become something of a dead duck in Bradford city centre, ever since…read moreThe Broadway opened, it seemed more and more shops have relocated from here to the new mall (and who could blame them), sadly that means walking around Kirkgate Shopping Centre now is depressing, a run-down mall with empty units left, right and centre, and virtually no atmosphere. I'm not surprised to hear talks about this place being demolished. I got into the shopping centre from the escalators, opposite McDonald's, the first thing you could see is the giant Primark and pretty much nothing else. Not much going on inside - lack of mall staff/guides for shops that still exist here. A small number of units remain, including Primark and Sports Direct, both useful and many smaller/discount stores. 2* - Not worth going out of your way to visit, unless you specifically need one of the stores, certainly would be better to move the existing stores into the newer mall and use this space for something else.

I had a bad experience here yesterday. First, my shoelace came undone and it was too busy for me to…read morestop anywhere and do it up so I had to walk dead stupid because my right shoe was falling off. I don't normally wear shoes I have to lace up, which was probably the issue really, cos I'd just bought some converse hi-tops and wanted to wear them in a bit and had forgotten that double knots are the way forward. Anyhoo. Then I needed to pee. And finding the toilets was such a saga, with signs telling me to go upstairs (which I did), then to follow the concourse all the way round (which I did), and then queue up at the parking machines (which I did), and then get in a lift. At this point I got so confused and didn't believe that I had to come up an escalator and then get in a lift and so I ended up finding new toilets in the Kirkgate Market bit, which weren't very nice because they smelled of poop. I don't remember much else about Kirkgate Shopping Centre other than that it has an Argos and a Primark in it.

A dead good T K Maxx! It takes up the entire top floor of the Victoria Shopping Centre, and the…read morefirst time I came here I accidentally spent an hour and a half trying stuff on. There's a good range of homeware too, and lots of shoes. Generally tidier and better stocked than the other TK Maxxes I've been to, too. I can only think that that's because Harrogate is posher : )

Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't like this TK Maxx! I found it to be far too hot inside (too…read moremuch glass maybe?) and a bit cramped. Despite Harrogate being a lovely town, the store was still a bit too messy for my liking, and parking is a real issue - you have to park in the main car park and walk (fine, unless you've just filled a couple of trolleys with bargains!). I have never found anything in Harrogate TKM that has excited me, perhaps because the folks in the town are that little bit more knowledgeable and grab the designer bargains as they know what they are. Still well worth a visit though.

33 North Parade Bradford…read moreBD1 3JH Tel: 01274 732247 This store is based at the top end of town just near to one of the main markets so it is in a good position. I like this store as it has everything all in one place - i think there is 3 floors, each accessible by the old fashioned lift which gives you muscles every time you use it - it is so hard to open and close the doors so im not sure how most people who shop there manage. On the bottom floor there are pet supplies and the odd ornaments and luggage. They also have a part called the bargain basement where they sell off odd bits of old stock like a jumblesale type of sale - ive never found a bargain yet. On the first floor as you go in there are sweets and other goodies galore and toiletries,etcthey do a good range of makeup which is very cheap even though they are the top brands. There is also school uniforms on this floor which are a lot cheaper than other places, but good quality. There is also a wide selection of toys and games, books, dvds, stationary, etc on this floor with many bargains to be had. The space is limitless and you also have brick a brack, decorating and d.i.y supplies, etc on this floor While im not sure which is on which floor there is also a good stock of nightwear, underwear, shoes and clothes. They do baby stuff too and a very good selection of craft supplies. Their bedding and curtains are also a good range and price. As i said they have everything you could need at a good price.

A store of many floors. In truth it's probably only three or four but each small department seems…read moreto be up or down stairs. I'm pretty sure that at least one is between offical floors. The lift is probably an original feature and is therefore difficult for the elderly and the disabled. It's of the type where you close the doors yourself - mind your fingers - and that also means that if someone forgets, the lift is out of service, but that doesn't happen often. It would be hard to list in order all the floors and what they contain but Boyes does have mini departments with the following ranges; toiletries, toys and stationery, school uniforms, womens clothes, kids clothes, mens clothes, hardware and a very nice craft department. There is also a small but very nice cafe at the top of the store, very quiet, I don't think most people realise it is there.

I…read morecalled in last week to pick up something to eat and realised that the only part of that 'old' M&S remaining is the slightly higher than average prices.

Easily the worst M & S I know. The amount of times I've popped in to grab something I'd forgotten…read moreto get in my normal shopping trip and NOT found it is ridiculous. They don't sell frankfurters for instance! Then I vow I'll never go back before lowering my standards again, only to be disappointed once more. Happily there is large scale refurbishment afoot. If they turn it into what I would call a 'proper' M & S I'll be happy to return and edit my review. I have just come back and edited my review and reduced a star. The reason being that the apparent 'refurbishment' turns out to be expanding the car park. So the worst M & S I know demolished the pub next door and built a car park rather than bring their store even vaguely up to standard. Boo! Rubbish!

This is rather a jumbled up shop based on the main road into bradford town centre - they have that…read moremuch stock in the store it makes it hard to walk around and see the goods. But, i suppose that is what adds to the charm of the shop and it does give you more choice. As the name suggests they stock beds and suites and other things like mirrors, dressers, wardrobes, etc. All the products are the best makes like dunlop and that and are made to the very best standard - the wardrobe i bought there over 10years ago still looks like new which is good in this day and age. They deliver the goods to your home for a small fee but their prices arent too steep so you dont mind paying this fee. The store is laid out over 2 floors but the upstairs floor is quite hard to get to as the steps feel really rickety and coming down you take your life in your hands. There is a lift but it doesnt always work. The staff are quite nice but there isnt enough of them and they always seem to be on the phone when i go in and thus it makes you feel as if your custom isnt wanted, but, once they do begin to serve you they are very nice.
