Great for cheap second hand books especially good for childrens books. They have quite a lot of videos too which are only 30p each or 5 for a £1. My son loves nipping in here on his way home from school to spend his pocket money on a new treat while also supporting the charity at the same time. Its recently just had a revamp and extension so is now a lot more organised and spacious than it used to be.

This WHSmith store is located in the Deepdale Shopping Park in Preston. This store is tucked in…read moretowards a corner of the retail park, in-between Clarks and Sports Direct. I really didn't like this branch as a whole, especially in comparison to other branches in the WHSmith chain, I found the branch a little bit messy at times, with things blocking the aisles at times. The overall selection of the store wasn't great, it made it easy for the store to crowd around certain areas such as the tills and entrance, so the store appeared to be much busier and crowded as it needed to be, and as well as the overall layout of the aisles etc, the store appeared to be a little bit of a mess. I also found the selection of drinks to be a little poor and I just found this store to be dissapointing in general, sadly warranting a single one-star rating.

Vinyl Records is a great old skool record/vinyl shop on Church Street in Preston. Not many of these…read moretypes of shops left about. They have lots of different styles of music and a mass amount of records. The prices can be a bit more costly than the norm but they are worth it. Much better experience than shopping online. If you can't find what you want the staff are always on hand to help you and if they don't have it in stock they will order it in for you. Great quick service and knowledgeable staff. Nice friendly atmosphere.

The staff are really helpful and although slightly outside the town centre it is not too far away and located close to alternative venues The Warehouse and PR1. Whilst some of the stuff can be a little pricey there really is so much on offer that you're sure to find something affordable and to your taste. You really can spend quite some time in here looking through all the vinyl and there are often some hidden gems if you are lucky enough to find them!
