This is without a doubt, one of the quirkiest and best charity shops in Bristol!…read more But it is so much more than just a charity shop. It's and old birds hang out, an internet cafe and an important bit of Gloucester Roads. Sure, it's an absolute shambles and you generally won't find as many 'gems' as you might I other, more modern charity shops. But it more of a jumble sale than a shop, and that's why it's so great! If, like me, you spent years waking passed without going in, please do. Check it out and have a rummage, you'll have a blast!

This isn't a charity shop! This is my Grannies house! You would have to have a cold dead heart not…read moreto be taken in by the charm of this shop. From the internet use for £1, located upstairs somewhere (?), to the book section with all the books laid out on the shelf of what appears to be the lounge of someone's house. There's also a strange selection of pot plants and a toilet seat, to name just a couple of items you are likely to find. I even saw a selection of the books I used to own when I was a child; do you remember How My Body Works!? Well she had the whole set! When you stacked the books up next to each other the spine of each book together formed an image. So thank you One in Eight for my afternoon childhood flashback. They have a community notice board on the front of the shop where you can post your advert for a month for just £1! A month's worth of advertising for £1! I'm sure a similar pricing structure to that of Vogue magazine.

LOCATION// Inside the Old Town Deli & Cafe, straight at the back. Walk inside, past the stairs and…read moreserving counter and you will see a door at the very back. What looks like a utility closet is actually the art shop. SPACE/STAFF//I was looking forward to visiting this shop. I knew it was going to be small, but nothing prepared me for how small. It's like a stationery cupboard. They do manage to pack in a lot of things in the tiny space, but unfortunately it's so small that you can feel the eyes of the staff person boring into your back as you try to have a look around. And in my case, the lady behind the register was not very nice at all. She gave me dubious looks and hurried me as if she thought I was going to steal something. Not very comfortable experience. I didn't really mind the small space as much as the unfriendly customer service. Even if they did have what I want, it put me off coming back. From what I did manage to see, before I was made to feel completely unwelcome, things are more expensive than you can get elsewhere and not that much stock because of the limited space. So if you're looking for something specific, you might not find it here. But if what you want isn't at W.H. Smith, at least you have the option of looking in here..

Yes, as stated by a previous reviewer, The Artery is a small shop but packs a great deal in. If…read moreyou need something which is not in stock, Barry and his team will order it for you for prompt delivery. The shop represents the SAA (Society for All Artists) locally which gives access to their wide range of products. The Art classes and workshops bookable through the shop are excellent and offer a wide range of subjects and media in small friendly groups. Highly recommended in all respects.

Dave Christopher is one of those such names but from what I can see, there's no reason not to distrust this place. Dave Christopher is a good solid jeweller with some very nice shops across the South West. The thing I like about this shop as opposed to other jewellers is how it caters for tastes right across the market. On one hand for instance they offer to buy people's gold for cash, alongside seemingly cheap and tacky earrings and gifts - clearly aiming at the lower end of the market. In juxtaposition to this you have a Rotary watch section with price tags that look more like phone numbers! It's a fair place offering good, honest jewellery.
