The basic ethos of Found is that they sell clothing and accessories that have been donated or sold…read moreto them, the proceeds then go to helping homeless people in leeds. The website explains it better if you're interested in finding out more. In essence it's like a very up-market charity shop and the people behind it have put a lot of thought and effort into making Found appear like a boutique and it does. There is even a boutique section at the back which includes real and fake fur vntage coats, dresses and sparkly tops. You will also find jewellery made from kitsch 80's memorabilia. Not everything is vintage as some clothes have been recent donations from the high street and there's even a childrens clothes section. I'd say that the prices vary greatly for example I saw some vintage skirts that cost £8 but the fur coats cost around £70. I feel as though these prices are justified and I think that this is a great idea helping a worthy cause.

I love the name Ali Baba Carpets. It conjours up images of magic flying carpets and starry Arabian…read morenights. Very magical and romantic. Unfortunately the shop location and layout is not very glamorous or glittery like the images in ones head, but maybe that would be a lot to live up to. The shop contains two sections, one is mainly just rolls of different carpets and the other is full of sample books of other types of flooring, mainly laminate and water proof. They also sell a few other house furnishings such as cabinets, tables and chairs. The guy inside is friendly and eager to help, however I think the price was a little steeper than usual at £8.88 per square metre.

The room you enter first has a wide variety of mats and carpets on display, from bathroom mats to mats for a large living room as well as carpet samples and rolls. The next room has yet more mats and carpets, samples of other flooring types, a few somewhat unusual sofas on display and catalogues from which similar sofas can be ordered. Upstairs is two rooms full of beds - mainly double with large, flat bases. The prices are varied - you could probably find a few bargains but some might be more expensive than you expected. It's the kind of place that's probably worth popping into if you're in the area and looking for carpets flooring or furniture but I can't imagine travelling a long way to visit it specifically...unless you like their very particular style of sofa (petite and patterned with quite elaborate detailing) as you might not find it elsewhere.

Discount Vax is a charmingly retro-looking little shop proclaiming its specialism as many times as…read morepossible all over its exterior. 'Discount Vax', 'Dyson a speciality', 'Hoover, Electrolux, Hotpoint, Goblin', 'Vac Specialists', 'Yes we repair Dyson', 'Vax vax', 'Vax', 'Industrial', 'Sales, Spares and Repairs'. So yes, they sell, provide spare parts for and repair a wide variety of vacuum cleaners including those of the industrial variety. And they seem pretty keen on vacuum cleaners! They also include a free electrical safety test or 'pat test' on vacuum cleaners they repair. The vacuum cleaners on display do seem rather cheap, and as the staff here clearly know a lot about vacuum cleaners you feel like you're in safe hands. If you like independent shops with character and have a vacuum cleaner that needs some tlc, or want a new one all together, this shop should do the job!

Love love love Dorothy Perkins! They sell gorgeous clothes, and I particularly like their dresses…read more They sell a wide range of styles, colours and sizes. Some of their stuff is slightly expensive but it is nice quality so can't really complain. Also I once bought a dress there in the sale that was £45 reduced to £3!! So they do have decent sales! Definitely one of my favourite high street shops and a first point of call for a new outfit.

After a couple of visits i found exactly what I needed plus some other things(2 enormous mirrors) which I didn't know I needed until I saw them!!! They don't seem to specialise in doors like they use to.... however I did note a few fine specimens during my last browse 2 weeks ago. This is a large warren like antique/junk/reclamation shop. Nothing posh or intimidating about the way it's set out. Prices are good and they are open to negotiation on them.The owners are really friendly and helpful and their warmth makes up for the always chilly environment. It is packed with "stuff" so you need to allow time to take in everything. They also hire stuff to TV companies who need period pieces. Parking is directly outside on the street.

My ghds died a fizzy-poppy-burny death so I was very excited when these tipped up two days after the order was placed, and I'm so happy with them! You can change the temperature according to your hair type and desired style, and they're all sparkly on the plates. Basically they're like uber ghds. And they come with a heatproof plate protector so you don't have to panic about leaving them on the floor and setting fire to stuff. Excellent product and service!
