The Tweedmill is a factory outlet shop located in the Vale of Clwyd close to St. Asaph. It's easy…read moreto find with sign posts from the A55 and has a decent sized car park. The shop sells clothing, shoes, soft furnishings, homewear, gifts, etc. The clothing is, in my opinion at least, aimed more at the older shopper and I would expect most people without a bus pass to come away a bit disappointed. A couple of negatives as well. Firstly the building is basically a barn and really needs redecorating inside. It looks shabby which creates a poor impression overall. Secondly the reductions aren't as generous as you would expect in an outlet shop. For example the last time I visited I found some Ben Sherman T-shirts which had been reduced from £29.99 to £24.99, a saving of only £5. Overall it's OK for the older shopper but not great.

Since then it's had a makeover and having visited for the first time in years I can now report it's a very clean and modern looking buildings selling clothes for the over sixties. Actually there were one or two small sections of clothing for younger people, brands like Brave Soul and Lambretta, but only very limited ranges. And there didn't appear to anything for kids at all which disappointed my eight year old daughter.

Quality and service are two good words that sum up what Tyrer's is all about. They provide a range of top class fashions for men and women, together with beauty products and their own restaurant and hairdressing salon. It is a department store that has retained a little bit of tradition. You shouldn't have any problem finding it as it is in the town centre. They have a 'genuine' sale on at the minute, declaring that you could save 70% - it all sounds very good! I am not the best when it comes to sales and tend to have a brief filter through the sale items and then get totally put off and then swiftly move onto the full priced stuff! I am just no good. I need to be sent to sale buying training school!

They offer a wonderful variety of styles of dresses, blouses, and other clothing items at reasonable prices for one-of-a-kind fashion. Most of the dresses I looked at started around £60. They also sell handmade hair bands and accessories. The shop owner was very friendly. She sat there sewing away on some projects while she chatted to me about her business, and even told me a little bit of the history of the building which has undergone a lot of changes over the years. I would definitely recommend this shop if you like feminine fashion, and one-of-a-kind items. There's something for everyone here, no matter your age or colour preferences. They can also do clothing alterations.

It was the cool shop where as a young teenager you would go and marvel at their collection of all things psychedelic. With shelves lined with bongs, papers, incense sticks, ashtrays and pipes.. and even a piercing parlour upstairs, this was the coolest shop on Earth. Indeed. I'm sure it still is to a handful of people. It was the first taste of an alternative shop that I ever got my senses around, moving over to Liverpool made me see new head shops and now I wouldn't rate Beyond as one of the best. The service was very good and personable and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The piercings were clean and good. I got both my eyebrows pierced here long before I realised that eyebrow piercings are hideous and they grow and leave scars! Lesson learnt!

A useful location within Chester city centre, although it isn't as modern/new as other stores, the…read moreMarks and Spencer branch on Foregate Street in the city centre is satisfactory offering a decent selection of food, clothing and also having much-needed toilets which can be hard to find within the city centre. I would have liked to see more fresh produce including meats and juices and a better layout of the checkouts in the Food Hall however as an immediate improvement. In terms of clothing, I would say the nearby branches in Manchester and Liverpool are obviously better but the selection is fairly decent if you don't want to commute into one of those cities. The staff seemed OK, although I've experienced better in probably half a dozen other branches of Marks and Spencer, yet this branch is certainly much better than some dire stores within their network including the London borough of Islington and Rochdale in Greater Manchester. A nice brand within Chester, it looks good from the outside, it isn't the best Marks and Spencer store by any means, but it has good cleanliness and location going for it. 3*
