Finding a, um, 'Space', like this in Harrogate was a pretty strange experience really. Like walking…read moreon the moon. I saw it as I walking by and gravity went from underneath me, I got all bouncy in my step and bounded in - eager to forage for some vintage delights. Bargain vintage delights. In Harrogate? This is new. I didn't find bargain vintage delights. Rather expensive vintage delights. Very expensive vintage delights. You want £28 for a set of old cups? Oh right, I see. You're really vintage. Oooh. Oooooh. A new oooooh. You've got copies of The Face. I was never a cool enough early teen to be into The Face. I wish the face still existed. Oooooh. There's a copy here with The Strokes on the front. You want a fiver for it? Not a quid? Ah. Right. This place knows it has novelty value in Harrogate. And while it might spout about being an independent collective of vintage 'retailers', what would be a very enjoyable haberdashery of all nice, cute old things comes off feeling a bit too retail-based. We'll see how this one pans out.

I love this shop. All sorts of yesteryear nick-nacks…read more Shops like this have received a little bit of attention of late because they are selling the collectable stuff people hope to find in charity shops. The interesting bits you used to find in charity shops find a home here and the place does well. What's more the really knowledgeable guy who runs it is a great to spend some time with as he comes across a great deal more than can fit onto this Tardis-like shop. It's a wonderful place to browse in, but, as another reviewer said, don't expect charity shop prices as a lot of this stuff is now quite hard to find, and is priced accordingly.

They stock things like notebooks, photo albumns, cushions, throws, money boxes and re-useable shopping bags. They do a great range of jewellery and some fantastic wine glasses made from recycled glass bottles. Buy your gifts here and shop with a clear conscience. The staff are friendly and the shop has a relaxed, laid back atmosphere; they're used to people just browsing. It's not cheap, but not too dear either and you're paying for ethical goods.

Interesting little place, this one. Basically its a second hand bookstore, and unlike most of the…read moremodern book stores, its feels like and old fashioned book sellers, and even has the smell of an old fashioned book store too. There are plenty of books on display - so many that you may find it difficult to find anything you're specifically searching for, and many of the titles are the older titles. While there are some more modern (ie - published in the last ten years or so) titles on offer, the majority are older. There are both literature and reference books on sale, in varying degrees of condition from good to just about acceptable. In addition to this, there are also a range of comic books and old magazines (a wide range of titles such as murder casebook for example, if thats your thing) and they offer a title search service to help you find a specific title which they might not have in stock. On the downside, it usually looks a little untidy in there with piles of books on the floor. The big 2nd hand places in London and so on look much tidier, and quite a few of the books on sale are expensive to say they arent of any real value and in sometimes poor condition, but its worth a look if you're in search of something specific or even just browsing for a casual read.

It used to be PDSA, I think, and it was a vintage charity shop before, but the guys at Sue Ryder…read morehave done an incredible job of making this charity shop a consistently excellent source of vintage goods. When ever I'm in Headingley I pop in, no matter what schedule I'm on, as there's always a quick, amazing bargain to be had. I love their window displays -- they always catch my eye, and more than once I've bought something from the mannequin. If you're in any way a fan of vintage clothing, this place has to be on your list of spots to have a browse. As well as great threads (often with really ace old school labels or handmade items) they have some really great antique bric a brac -- leather handbags, scarves, ornaments, crockery, records, sewing machines, and all sorts. The staff are always lovely too! If you're about town, pop in and have a rummage. It's a feel-good buy all round!

It's an old shabby looking little place which is literally rammed with stuff. It's hanging from the ceiling and everything! They have an assortment of sofas, chairs, pianos, desks, clocks, crockery, wardrobes, and much more. Aladdins Cave is a very approriate name for it! I was looking at a pair of brown leather sofas, a three seater and a two seater, and they were asking £200 for both of them, which I thought was a great price as they were in brilliant condition. I would definitely go back again and may purchase some furniture from there.
