If you're seriously into music then this is a place to visit. Situated in a little complex across…read morethe road from freshney place is what I describe a vinyl heaven. The shop has a massive range of new and (mostly) second hand vinyl records. There are some cd's, dvd's and other formats available but the majority of the stock is good old fashioned vinyl records! The stock ranges from some 50's and 60's classics through the great rock era of the 70's, goth, new wave, punk, early 80's and then the new wave of british heavy metal of the 80's followed by the resurgent glam rock and heavy metal of the early 90's right through to the more modern indie and grunge. The only problem I have is not having enough time to spend here - it's very easy to lose a hour or two leafing through the records - and not having enough money to buy everything I want. The records are usually in excellent condition and the owner will play them there for you to see that there are no jumps or scratches. I've never had a problem buying from here. Love it.

This is a large B&Q with an extensive range of stuff inside. I found myself in there just about…read moreevery day for a month when we were moving house, and generally they always had what I was looking for at a reasonable price. They've got a fairly nice display of kitchens and bathrooms, although these are more expensive than comparable quality ranges at Ikea. The garden centre is also not too bad but you'd really only want to buy the stuff if it was on offer. I like that this branch seems to have more than the normal share of older members of staff - better knowledge and better service normally. Decent car park, and quite easy to get to just off the Peaks Parkway. The usual infuriating idiots who park in the parent & toddler spaces, and the usual staff who are not interested in this when you report them - they're there for a reason, people!!!

Out of the hardware retailers in the area this is the one I visit first for general/none…read morespecialised requirements. The service can vary wildly; usually depending on the amount of staff available and how busy it is, but generally the staff are quite good and helpful - although on my most recent visit it appears that they have removed the customer service desk!!! The prices are reasonably low apart from the more specialised items which don't tend to be competitive because of the lack of local competition. As a major retailer they have a large range of the diy/gardeneing items that you would expect at different price points but as with some of the other major retailers it pays to pop in early morning before it gets busy to spot the bargains - some of the manager specials are fantastic but they sell out very fast. We got a fantastic deal on turf the other summer and we laid a lawn in our garden for next to nothing and the turf was high quality and hard wearing. The gardening section is not very good with a preponderance for power tools and the plants are not very well kept.

Is in the style of an Argos, search through the catalogue, write down what items you want and take it to the till to pay. They always have a wide range of items in stock. Staff don't seem overly helpful when it comes to taking your order but are pleasant enough. I would definitely always go here instead of the larger DIY stores as its cheaper and saves wandering round aisle after aisle trying to locate one item.

The store is quite deceiving and once inside is much more like a department store then just a shop!! From CD's, DVD's, T-shirts, games, books and would you believerecords!! The staff are friendly and are always there when you need help pointing you in the right direction or even if they do not have the item in store that you are looking for they can check to see if it can be ordered instore at no additional cost. If i am not ordering online, which i dont actually rate their website as i do think delivery times are slow compared to others, then i always ensure HMV is my first stop for my entertainment needs. You can see why this is a long standing company that has stood the test of the credit crunch.

This mobile phone store is situated in the main part of freshney place shopping centre near…read morestarbucks coffee stop. It's quite a large store and the layout is not bad. There are a lot of advertisements and special offers in the windows but it's best to go in and have a look. Along the walls there are rows and rows of mobile phones displayed for both contract and pay as you go for all the major telecoms providers. The range of phones in stock is quite good and the prices are not bad either, similar to it's major rival - the carphone warehouse. Most of the pay as you go phones look very cheap but beware there is usually a catch in that you have to buy a certain amount of airtime to get them at the stated price! Many of the contract phones come with special offers such as a games console or laptop - again beware hidden costs. The main let down of this shop is the staff, they do not tend to take a blind bit of notice of what you actually want instead trying to palm you off with the most expensive deal they can get you on. If you are persistent or are good at negotiating then you'll come away with a good deal. If you are not I'd avoid the place and go to the carphone warehouse a couple of shops down.
