They offer a wide range of excellent and professional services at affordable prices plus an efficient service to top that. It is not often one needs these services regularly but when you do, Timpson is a quality place you can rely on because they have been used to delivering the best in the business since they were established in 1903. I have been to this particular branch in Maghull a couple of times before and experienced no problems whatsoever. I had a new pair of hard rubber soles attached and they have lasted me for years, which has increased the lifespan of my favourite shoes! The service is second to none.

They have resoled, re-heeled and repaired many of my shoes and boots from the past and have always done an excellent job. The staff here are very friendly and helpful, They have real tradesmen working here who produce excellent work and take pride in what they do. The shoe repairs I have had done here have always been done quickly and have been inexpensive, especially considering the quality and time frame. They also have a large range of luggage, bags, purses, travel items, shoe related items and much more. This is a very useful shop and you can rely on them.

Even though their prices are expensive, I adore their image and simplicity of the shop. This shop is often quiet with very few customers, so it is a relaxing shopping experience tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Paradise Street. It's also an extremely tidy and clean looking shop that I did not want to touch anything! Fred Perry is another a decent, popular brand and a gem of Liverpool One.

On entry to this small store I was astonished by the value and range which was on offer to the customer and found myself in a shopping heaven. This store deserves a mention because it is so well kept, the place always looks immaculate and the staff are on hand at all times to help even if they can be a little bit pushy at times. The Fred Perry brand has a long history which is important to the development of styles in this country over the last fifty years or so and this store really does the brand proud. They are always giving away free badges with the classic logo and various other images adorning them. On the whole a real gem of a store at the heart of Liverpool.

It's the sort of place I would normally…read morewalk past and not pay any attention to, but having stopped once with my parents I was surprised about how much beautiful glassware there is! They have a large selection of display pieces that can easily be £500, however there is also a great deal of Scandinavian glassware that is affordable and great for wedding presents and special birthdays. Infact you can even find interesting gifts for as little as £12. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Worth popping in!

It was only as I got a bit older and started to appreciate some of the items that she was buying and selling with them that I realised what a great little shop this is! They buy and sell a wide range of furniture and curious that make your grandma look young and your modern pad look art deco and unique! They are a really friendly couple of guys and they always used to make a fuss of me and make me feel at home, despite being one of those hideous kids that wants to pick everything up that looks as though it may be remotely breakable! So if you have an antique that you want valuing or that you want to sell, or you're after something to spice up your pad, pop down to Mansell's, you won't be disappointed!

Okay, so I may exaggerate, but only slightly. This antiques shop is one of the best I have seen in the North West of England. It may be small, but it's fabulously decorated and arranged from the blue painted exterior to the shop front displays, and from the way the furniture lines the room to the arrangement of the dishes and collectables on the shelves. The prices are more than you will pay in a junk shop or charity shop, but that's what you should expect, my fine feathered friends--these are rare treasures, mysteries and delights.

The quality of the shoes arent too bad for the price and they are really good at taking back any shoes where the soul has come away even without a reciept.

Remar UK is a charity that I know little about and have never really heard of before so when I…read morestumbled across one of their stores I thought it might be a good idea to give them a bit of a mention and hopefully draw some attention. Their store in Aigburth is fairly standard as far as charity shops go but can throw up some real surprises with some furniture on sale being brand new and of a high quality. The staff here work hard for the cause and their enthusiasm and friendliness is infectious and I could not have been more impressed with their attitude. On the whole the point here is not about how good the business is although it is a well run one, the point is that these people are working for a good cause and the people of Liverpool should support it.

They sell bedroom furniture, dining tables, chairs, sofa's, beds, shelving, occasional tables and garden furniture. They have a massive range of styles from your basic MFI type furniture to the more expensive and classy solid wood items. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They greet you as you walk in and are happy to help and direct you to the sort of item you want. They don't pressure you but give good advice and information about the furniture they sell. If you do not need help they are happy to leave you to browse at your leisure. There is a small area of the shop which is like your usual charity shop with books, records, ornaments, glassware toys and shoes. It's a bit untidy and looks like a jumble sale in this area, but it's worth a rummage.

(I bought my husbands wedding ring from here at a third of the price I could find it anywhere else). One thing I have to mention is the massive amount of amber jewellery they sell, anyone who likes amber knows that not many places stock it. They have some of the nicest pieces I have seen although they do not sell rings in amber only necklaces, earings braclets and the like. I can't leave a review without mentioning the amazing staff in this shop (I wish I knew or could remember their names) They are so very helpful not pushy in the slightest and I can't praise them enough.

I was not impressed by the quality of the stock, either. The whole place has a cheap feel to it, and I would not go back here. I do think the ribbon selection was okay--they were not really cheap, and they would suffice for most projects. But don't call yourself a fabric store unless you actually sell more fabric than other items.

They also have a shop in Southport, so if I want something they don't have in stock in Ormskirk, they phone through to Southport and it can be brought through for you to pick up at ormskirk the next day ( or often several hours later) or if you can get through to Southport they will hold the item for you there. I could go to the big warehouses or large fabric stores if I had the time or inclination, but so far Maureen's has always had the items I require and a wealth of sewing and craft knowledge to help out. If it wasn't in Ormskirk I would miss it. I nipped in today for some ribbons and ended up buying a pattern and fabric for a maxi dress. If they weren't there, I would probably have bought the ribbon off the Internet and missed out on buying myself the fabric and extras to make a dress.
