There might be a couple of items that are two for a pound, but there's nothing that is more than one. While there are a few items that are "core", a lot of the stuff changes based on what I think is what the buyers are able to get for a good deal. You can always find toothpaste and shampoo and DIY items, the electronics stuff comes and goes. The "seasonal" department also changes - right now, it's Halloween. If you're looking to kit out a flat with basics and especially if you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with a big shop at Poundland.

They are attached to Vue Cinemas. The place completely indoors so no worries about the weather, though it was a little toasty today on the upper levels. Plenty of parking is available, which can be a little expensive depending. 6 hours was £10 today, though they do have special nights where parking is free after 5pm. Modern, clean, bright and airy. All in all, a pleasant experience.

Day of the dead Maybe its something to do with being under the castle, occupying the space where the dungeons usually are Or maybe it's just because all the decent shops upped and left to the swanky new place down the road. Whatever the case, Castle Mall will has an important place in the history of retail in Norwich. Main because it houses the city's main Post Office.

Elm Hill is a great place to wander around wasting time. A…read morefew years ago I had been in the church crypt here, with friends, having coffee and wandered off to look in the fantasy bookshop. The area is medieval, pretty and quaint with little courtyards off it. Antique shops, craft and book shops etc. I wandered down a coutyard and there was a taxidermists shop. The door was open so I went in and looked around..no-one came and I left. Back with my friends we got a taxi back to the uni and they told me there was no taxidermists???? Some time later I saw a book in a shop in Lincoln called Shadows in the Watchgate by Mike Jeffries. It was a spooky scary fantasy set in Elm Hill and with an evil taxidermist who lived there. I had a bit of a panic..my friends said there was no taxidermist soanyway eventually my cousin told me there was and she knew him. PHEW! Elm Hill was also converted into the village of Wall and the bookshop became the pub in Neil Gaimans film Stardust. Enchanting place and on a warm summer day explore..sit under the trees and dream. (read the book and see the film too) :0)))

The cobbles of Elm hill with their range of antique shops, galleries, and specialist shops are legendary. At the top you will find the Britons Arms, one of the oldest coffee shops in the city, and you may not know that the street was used in the film Stardust. Take time to browse, and investigate the little courtyards that lead off - including a lovely quaint tea shop tucked away - Elm Hill's fab secret! Elm Hill was named after the beautiful Elm Trees, sadly they suffered from Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s but Elm Hill lives on and no visit to Norwich should be complete without it.

I had one last night and put my oven onto what it said and it did not cook. Employees are relatively friendly though, so that's a bonus. It always feels busy and cheap/low-quality in there.

Its a great place to get very inexpensive items that you need everyday. Perfect for students :)read more
