In the picturesque market town of Pickering, in a small lane off Market Place is Champleys Shoes,…read morean independent women's shoe shop. It is adjacent to one of the entrances to the Co-Op. They have a good range of boots, shoes and sandals, both formal and more casual, in a variety of colours and sizes, including half sizes.

We have visited this shop at least three times and am surprised to read the comment on the meal…read moreworms. I wonder if the person took the trouble to contact the shop direct to point out the error. ( It may well be that the shop keeper is not as well informed on meal worms as the purchaser ?) While on holiday this year (2013) we visited this shop at least three times. As it happened we did not make any purchases at the shop even though there were many items that we we attracted too. In fairness their stock level and variety is among one of the best I have ever seen in a town the size of Pickering. At the same time even though we did, not as it happen, make any purchases we were given good advice. The person that served us was very knowledgeable on the items that we were interested in and the two attendants that we discussed products with were A) Civil and polite B) offered good product knowledge / advice. D) took the time and trouble to explain the benefits of the product we showed an interest in. We live in Dorset but will certainly re visit the shop when we next return to Pickering.

We bought a big bouquet from these people about six months ago and they were very helpful in sorting out what we wanted, and we were very pleased with the flowers we eventually bought. Parking is a bit of an issue -- if you do buy a large bouquet you'll probably have to carry it a fair way back to the car (as we did) -- but I wouldn't let that put you off! All in all we'd certainly go back there.
