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.

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

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.

I rang and spoke to a male shop worker who was really rude and unhelpful. I have bought all my furniture here for the last 20 years and until this purchase had no issues. But the first time I do the customer after service is terrible. I'm afraid I will have to find somewhere else to buy my furniture because the service is only good if you don't have a problem. 20 years of purchase count for nothing. Feel totally let down and have a poor quality 3 piece suite In response to Peter J comment below I ended the conversation because he was rude and had no customer service skills and was unable to listen without constant interruption. I am now having to pay a reputable upholsterer to put right all the issues with the suite as we didn't want a refund and be left with nothing to sit on over Christmas. We like the style of the suit and as we stated to one of the staff, we wanted a replacement but never mind once I have paid out extra money on what should have been a perfect suit already we will have the suit we wanted and I will definitely go to a reputable company in the future So £225 later after a reputable upholsterer has sorted the 3 piece sold to me by Furniture City, I now have a suite that is okay. What ever you do, do not buy from them because when somethings not right they don't want to know and become rude and abusive. Terrible service and goods

TL;DR - A truly unique venue combining art, food and shopping…read more One of Sparky's colleagues tipped us off about this place, and I'm amazed we'd never heard of it before. In case you don't know (I didn't!), Saltaire was built by industrialist Titus Salt (amazing name!) alongside the river Aire to bring all aspects of his textiles business onto one enormous site. He also built a town for the workers, and the whole area is now a world heritage site. The mill has now been converted into an amazing and huge venue spanning several floors. There's so much here it's hard to take in, but I'll try and summarise. The ground floor is a mixture of books on art, stationery and arts supplies, postcards and the like but interspersed with huge art displays. At first I wasn't sure if I was in an art gallery or a shop, but the answer is both. As with the rest of the mill, David Hockney features strongly throughout. There's a basement level which we didn't explore in detail, but it sells rugs and wallpapers and is just as big as the ground floor. The first floor houses the most. One end is a gorgeous bookshop, where the focus seems to be on unusual titles rather than breadth - I saw many, many books in the recipe section which I'd never seen or heard of anywhere else. The other end of the building is devoted to homewares - kitchen supplies, furniture, clocks and more. A lot of it is very expensive, but it's a beautifully curated selection of objects for sale. Between these two wings is Salt's Diner. It's a separate venue on Yelp but suffice it to say we had lunch here and it was great.Through the restaurant you can access a further wing of the building which is split into an outdoor clothing shop, a jewellers, an art exhibit, a treasure trove of an antique store and a small coffee shop. Finally, the top floor is split into three: an exhibit on the history of the mill, a major exhibition of work by David Hockney, and a further cafe/restaurant. On top of all these, parking is free on site and it's right next to the Saltaire train station, so there's really no excuse for not visiting.

At some point you are going to need to get some fuel on board and Salts Diner is not a bad option. Its situated on the 1st floor of this wonderful labyrinthine industrial building in a large area between the book shop and the home shop. It was very busy on our visit between Christmas and New Year but we managed to get a table for 6 without much difficulty. The young waiting girls were all very helpful and attentive and we soon settled down with a reasonably priced bottle of Merlot to have a look at the menu. There is fairly wide choice of available, and while there is no real theme to the menu, there is enough to satisfy all the generations of family visitors that Salts Mill attracts. There are lots of ankle biters about so be careful in your choice of seating if you want a peaceful lunch. I had the roast butternut squash and lentil soup from the daily specials board which was tasty and wholesome, obviously a popular selection as it was soon rubbed off the board. B and I both went down the pizza route for our main and shared a bowl of nicely cooked crispy fries; nothing to complain about but pretty bog standard. The most successful main seemed to be Danny's beef meatballs and pasta in a rich tomato sauce, again from daily specials board, although the other boys were quite complimentary about their beef and ale pies which came in a nice white dish topped with puff pastry. All in all while this was nothing to write home about it was a pretty decent lunch in a great building. Salts Diner itself its not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit but works well a part of a visit to the Mill (I would particularly recommended a visit at the moment to see the amazing "Flowers" show on the top floor of work created by Mr Hockney on his iPad - just stunning). 3 for Salts Diner and 5 for the Mill.

Now the Piece Hall is a little nugget of history right on our doorsteps. Dating from 1779, the unique Grade 1 listed Piece Hall in the centre of Halifax is the sole survivor of the great 18th century northern cloth halls. What a stunning site it is too. It'd be worth a visit alone to find out about its history and have a look at it's expanse of pillars and brick but it is also home to many shops on the ground and first floor. You'll find clothes shops selling urban street and also second hand vintage. I like to loose myself to the big kid in me and explore the comic store. For gifts, try the Silver Shop and there is even a stamp place for all you budding collectors out there. Oh and don't get me started on the chocolate and sweet shops or else I may implode. For some double trouble of history and shopping it's an obvious choice.
