This used to be a really good outdoor shopping village but seems to have gone downhill over the…read morelast few years. This used to have a nice mix of ethnic and engish stores and you had a realy good choice of things to buy, but, now it focuses more on ethnic goods and thus there isnt really much for me to buy there anymore as i dont go in for all the spices and curry food that it sells. The village has many market type stalls set out in the grounds and there is also a few stalls inside too - there is a second hand flea market type of stall inside with all sorts of second hand furniture and books, ornaments, bric a brac, etc. There is also a small pet shop inside which doesnt do many live animals but does cater for pet care and treatment with a good stock. There are loads of ethnic clothing stalls and ethnic food stalls so if that is your taste there are some good bargains to be had as this is a really cheap market. There is also a butcher who sells out of refrigerated wagon who haggles people with his prices which gives it an auction type of feel. I love listening to him say 'ill give you 2 pieces for a fiver or even 3 pieces for a fiver - any takers' and everyone waves their fivers about thinking they are getting a bargain - i wouldnt dare buy meat like that. Ok for bargains but hard to walk round as gets very muddy and the ground isnt even and is very hilly in places so it isnt appropriate for wheelchair users and prams.

What a place, came up to Bradford and heard of Cannon Mills as being the go to market…read more Having been to the market Town of Skipton this was surely different. WOW.. They had a massive collection of stalls focusing on everything from textiles to cookware and the prices are all negotiable.. It was like being in morocco again !! ... It's worth mentioning the fellas outside market 2 who run a bedding and pots and pan store where I seemed to spend at least 30 mins... The prices where very good and the customer service brilliant... Any size and colour fitted bed sheets 2 for £5.. Bargain . To mention further the street food on offer was equally as good.. Will definitely be back

Woolshops Shopping Centre is a nice yet fairly basic shopping centre, for a small town, it is…read morepretty much typical of what one would expect in terms of size and retailers. It is a predominantly outside mall, with affordable parking and plenty of spaces. Retailers here include Boots (including Opticians), CeX, EE, JD Sports, Marks and Spencer, O2, Superdrug, WHSmith (including a Post Office). For food and drink, there is a Costa, Greggs and a Cafe inside Marks and Spencer. I did like the buildings the shops were located in, it has a rather nice feel to it, on a warm, sunny day this could be a nice place to visit for a little while, however, if the weather isn't so good, I'd give this place a miss. In terms of shopping nearby, Leeds is by far a better option but Woolshops certainly isn't too bad. 3*

Its not really a shopping centre as such just a parade of shops, but there's plenty of range here…read moreso whatever it is your looking for you will pretty be able to find it in this place, phones, beauty products, card shops, clothes, gifts, ect. Theres some quite cheap shops round here too so if you havent got a lot of money these places are good to check out. I especially like the shops further down the parade like superdrug,new look, peacocks, body shop, thorntons.

This is a fairly new addition to the centre of Huddersfield. It has its own multi sotery car park…read morewhich i seasier to use than most new car parks. The shops in the centre are varied and there is a good range of differently priced shops. The atmosphere in the centre is clean and bright and welcoming. I enjoyed visiting this mall. It is not too big so you dont feel overwhelmed at all. It consists mainly of clothes shops and there are several Jewellers too, a great place to shop.

Kingsgate Shopping Centre is a small shopping centre serving the town centre of Huddersfield in…read moreWest Yorkshire. As a mall it is fairly poor, it only consists of a small number of retailers and isn't too impressive overall, it does feel a little bit run down inside, with a lack of mall staff and a high number of kiosks selling any random tat on the mall floor. JD Sports, Sports Direct, Clarks and The Fragrance Shop all have stores in the mall, including the four main mobile phone service providers and Stormfront (Apple Reseller). For food and drink, you have brands such as The Bagel Factory and Costa. The anchor tenant, House of Fraser, is the largest store in the mall but closure has been talked about for a while now, so I can't see it lasting beyond early 2022. The toilets are well hidden as they are poorly signposted and located inside the car park. Car parking is a little expensive for a small town and works out around £1 an hour with no flat rate other than on Sunday's, where they charge £1.50. 2* - A bog-standard shopping centre, not terrible but I won't be rushing back here.

The imperial arcade has a nice atmosphere, totally different than the mainstream shopping centres…read more There are no big and famous brands there, but small high quality shops. There is a skate shop I really like there called Sol77 as far as I remember. You will also find a shoe shop, a small cafe, a piercing spot, a few bars, a travel agent and a shop with video games. It's located in the town centre, and is not a bad spot for some quiet shopping.

This is my favourite place for everything shopping. Both M & S and Asda have everything I need…read morebetween them. Asda has a great selection of women's and children's clothes, all very reasonably priced. Being disabled, these superstores offer an accessible, easy shopping experience, both having loads of disabled parking spaces, and scooters to borrow. The staff in Asda are particularly helpful, nothing's too much trouble. I love being able to withdraw cash, get my prescription, see the optician, pick up my euros and do my food shopping under one roof. A restaurant offers fresh cooked food every day, and there's always MacDonald's for the grandchildren. (And grandma!). Household goods are trendy and colourful, with lots of choice. M & S is a bit more expensive, but it's nice for gift buying or for something special. Their food is to die for, again, a bit pricey but such a treat. Some people want more choice of shops in a retail centre, but for me, Owlcotes is perfect. It's a relaxing, enjoyable experience, and I always find what I need. My only complaint? There's too much choice!! In both stores, I could spend hours, and do, browsing the aisles, with no over enthusiastic store assistants hassling me to buy things I don't want! Asda wins by a margin because I can shop there 24 hours most days. Evening shopping is quieter, and brings out the very best of people!!

Centre? Centre of what? I mean this is really just a couple of big shops and if you're not into…read moreM&S or Walmart then you're out of luck. If you are intending to do mega shopping it's probably better to get the bus into Leeds or round the ring road to the White Rose Centre. I tend to at least partially judge any 'centre' by the eats (I know, I'm very sad and slightly over weight) and The Owlcotes fairs very badly offering a small McDonald's which doesn't offer the full menu and ASDA cafe which I have to say doesn't seem to offer much edible at all. I can't finish without conferring the prize for toilets I'd least like to need on the one here adjacent to the McDonald's concession. Gross, filthy and obviously forgotten on the cleaning rota.

Review 500! Wowzers…read more I'm chuffed that it's this local landmark, as we walked up to Peel Monument on what was probably the loveliest, sunniest first day of Spring that I can remember. Occupying a prominent position on Holcome Hill, you can see the monument from miles around and it serves as a beacon for walkers or those of us that just enjoying getting up to it "because it's there". It's a memorial to Sir Robert Peel, born in Bury, who twice served as Prime Minister and is regarded as the father of the modern British police. On a clear day, which we were lucky coincided with our visit, you can look out across the Greater Manchester landscape to the towns, villages and moorlands beyond. Sit down on the grass and take it all in. There are public footpaths leading up to it from Ramsbottom; we didn't need a map as you could see it above you most of the time. Alternatively, there are lanes you can park on further up the hill as it's a bit of a climb, but definitely worth visiting.
