The shop is on the corner of Devoils Lane, and is in an attractive building, and inside the shop it's lovely and spacious. There are many books in stock, ranging from valuable collectible and antique books and first editions, through to kids books and chick lit. Recently a small coffee machine has been installed, and a table chairs brought in to encourage people to stay for while. the prices for books are pretty good (though the collectibles are perhaps a touch pricey) and the atmosphere in here is relaxing.

A good little charity shop, but you'll have to hunt to find treasure!…read more This shop is situated on the high street, near to the many coffee shops and cafés of Bishops' Stortford, so is very easy to pop in to to look for goodies! It's a small shop, and well filled, with a range of men's, women's and kids clothes, books, games and other bits and bobs. The selection of women's clothes is fairly broad, but not enough crazy vintage for my liking (sometimes, if you ask nicely to see the fancy dress section, they will let you see some of the funkier clothes they keep hidden upstairs,) The prices are pretty good, not as sky high as Oxfam, so take a dip!
