Debenhams Browns of Chester is the only Debenhams store to retain its' original branding, Browns of…read moreChester. It has been owned by Debenhams since 1976, yet the store is fairly old being founded in 1780, while it doesn't seem to compare to the older department stores in London, it still is a fairly nice branch, you can enter the store through street-level or through the Grosvenor Shopping Centre. The store is pretty old and you can tell that through shopping inside, they have random sets of steps and ramps all over, so it isn't just one straight/flat level, so do be careful where you're walking to avoid tripping. They had a huge clearance sale on my visit, due to Debenhams' facing difficulties and having to close many of their stores, including this one, I still found many of their prices to be high even after the discount, I found the promotional offers to be inconsistent and it was hard to tell what item costs what as each part of the store/product range would have a different % off. The store did seem a little messy, but it did have some good products overall and it is nice to see they haven't ignored the history, it's a shame to see this store earmarked for closure as although it isn't perfect, it is and remains a nice addition to the town centre. 3*

This place really is fantastic for womens clothes - like debenhams it has all the usual brands such as Jane Norman and Oasis, and it has a great underwear section with huge variety of pretty knickers. It also has a wedding section with loads of higher quality dresses. Of course these come with a higher price tag that the high street stuff that can be found there but this is where I would come to look for something to wear for a special occasion.

A vintage store that is an eclectic mix of old and new, it's like rooting through your grandmother's jewellery boxes but with quirky contemporary touches. Each dresser is artistically set up with items from brooches to elegant feather hair clips and with a wide range of prices to suit all bank balances this is a little British gem of the traditional with a twist. Each piece is an eccentric and fun, up-to-date antique (oxymoron if I ever saw one!) that looks as though it's been handed down and needs to be treasured! Also, if you're a vintage hoarder get onto their facebook page 'Hope and Winkle Vintage' for frequent updates on offers you wouldn't want to miss out on!

Hope and Winkle Vintage is less a vintage shop and more a shop of upcycled, repurposed jewellery…read moreand accessories. Items are made from vintage and found jewellery, buttons, and bits and bobs. According to their brochure the shop offers "an inventive British lifestyle and accessories brand inspired by traditional English heritage, the 1940's austerity and the elite aristocracy." Think Accessorize without the guilt factor, and with a one-of-a-kind flare. These items are handmade to the highest quality by a small business owner, and you won't find the same items anywhere else. I was very impressed by the collection of pretty rings for sale. I guess I kind of have a fetish for finger rings, so when I see truly unusual ones, especially affordable ones, it makes me happy. Whether you like big, sparkly bangles, or cutesy ladybugs, birds, and turtles, there is something here for you to deck out your fingers in style. You'll also find vintage and upcycled necklaces, bracelets, broaches, tea cup candles, hair clips, earrings, headbands, watch straps, and much more. To see tons of photos, visit the fan page on Facebook by searching for Hope and Winkle Vintage. But as with visitors to Little Red Vintage, also on Bold Street, you are going to have beat me back here if you want the good stuff. What a great shop!

The store is clean, tidy and well maintained. The staff work hard to ensure the shelves are kept well stocked and tidy. The store is often busy but the staff open new tills as needed and serve customers quickly. My favourite items here are the Hello Kitty fleece blankets and Live Colour hair dye for £3.99.

I don't know whether calling these shops 'Home and Bargain' is localised dialect, an anachronism or…read morejust plain wrongness on my part but I'm going to continue doing it forever so get stuffed. Anyway, how the Buddha does Home and Bargain function as an actual profit-churning business? Everything here is so cheap you end up scraping the price tags with your nail to see if some joker has tippexed over the pound signs. Nowhere else in the city can you buy a full range of fatty snacks and still get change from a quid. These aren't fake brands either. No 'Snikkers' or 'Cwavurs' or 'Ghalaxy Bars' here. No my friend, it's all the real deal. Now fill your pockets and scarper before they realise they've priced everything wrong. The only things that bring more joy than the low prices are of course the conveyor belts leading to the till. Each one is about the length of a 15cm ruler snapped in half. The woman on the till can touch the far end of it with her elbow. Nevertheless, you will still place your box of detergent on the belt and together you will both watch it trundle the few inches into her open hand. It's one of life's small pleasures.

I went in to get a present for a friends 21st birthday, I wanted a special Pandora bead to add to her bracelet which she was getting as a present. I entered the store and started to have a mooch around at all the beautiful jewellery. After a minute or so an assistant came over and asked if I needed any help. I told her what I was after and she asked me if there was any particular type of bead I was after. They had ones with charms, novelty shapes, precious stones and glass. I had decided to get one with a precious stone in as it was a special birthday. She then started bringing over trays of gorgeous beads for me to look at. She told me to place the ones I liked in a little basket so that I could look at them again and compare them to each other. There were so many stunning beads I ended up with loads to compare to each other. It was such a difficult decision that I had to agonise over it for a long time. The assistant was patient with me. I asked her opinion and she showed me her bracelet and her favourite bead, which was embellished with black mother of pearl. I decided to go for this one. As she knew my bead was a gift she asked if I would like it wrapped for no extra charge. She put it in a gorgeous little box with a couple of chocolates inside. She then added a pretty ribbon and put it in a little Pandora bag. The bead cost me £30 and it was a very well received present. The beads can cost anything up to £620!!! The beads are not cheap but they are of a much higher quality than the cheap imitations that can be seen in high street stores such as Dorothy Perkins. This is a brilliant shop and the service is first class.

The staff are fantastic here and they provide attention and service which really is admirable not too mention professional. This place works hard and is firmly established as a big name within Liverpool One as it competes against the many other jewellers.
