I don't know if you still have to have a Matalan card to shop here, but I got one ages ago. I took…read morea client shopping for trainers and he's disabled, so needs velcro fastenings. This limits it quite significantly. JJB sports didn't have any, just like all the major shoe shops. When we eventually tried Matalan, they not only had a choice, they were £7 a pair for reasonable quality. When I was asked about a card, I thought it may come in useful at some time, filled in the information, was given a temporary card and got £1 off the trainers immediately! Definite points for the store there! What I was impressed by was that, although the prices are ridiculously low, most of the products are good quality - at least as good as most normal shops. I couldn't give five stars, however, due to the long wait to get served. There was a snake of people all waiting patiently and two tills in operation, every time I have been in, no matter what time of day. I still recommend Matalan to everyone for whatever clothing they need.

If you have a Matalan card, and you can easily apply for one of these in any of the shops, Matalan…read moreis the perfect budget place to shop. This Warrington store has had a recent refurbishment, and now looks bigger than it did previously. The shop is really spacious, and there are no problems shopping with a pram. The shop has a great selection of everyday clothes. You can pick up tops for £2.50, and leather shoes for a tenner. They also have regular offers, and 3 for 2's on gifts, especially around Christmas time. Most of the staff are really friendly, and car parking is usually fine. Be aware, however that the store does get busy. Weekends can be a nightmare, and even with all the checkouts open, be prepared to queue!

Peacocks is great, they have such brilliant bargains on their clothes and they are so fashionable,…read morefor ladies, children and men. The only thing I absolutely hate about Peacocks is every time you want to try something on you have to ask and assistant for a key to the changing rooms and then hand it back to them afterwards, it is such a pain you feel like you are mithering if you go in the changing rooms more than once, I have stopped shopping their because of this, a lot of people I know who shop there tend to take their items home to try on, which can be a pain when they dont fit and you have to trail back to the shop the next day. I do find sometimes the clothes are smaller fitting and I always buy the next size up and nearly always have to take something back. They have a really good selection of unusualy christmas joke gifts ideal for stocking fillers, and their jewellry collection is fantastic. Peacocks have everything you need from dresses, tops, and trousers to fashion jewellry, shoes, boots, slippers, nightwear, belts and handbags.

Birchwood shopping centre is in dire need of a facelift, it's run down and often looks in need of a…read moregood clean. However it is convenient for the local area, inside is an Asda and Iceland aswell as some chain stores such as New Look and Argos. Parking is free and there is plenty of it, making it easy to come here. The shops tend to be the cheaper end of the high street stores, newsagents, charity and sports shops. At Christmas they often have a small grotto and a Santa which is nice for the children. Birchwood shopping centre is probably not somewhere you would go Saturday shopping, the range of shops is just too small but it is nice to have a quick look around the shops if you are going to one of the supermarkets anyway.

We use this station for day-trips to Liverpool. The reason for this is that trains from Manchester…read moreto Liverpool for some reason seem to take an age, and by the time you've got into Manchester as well you've more or less wasted half a day. Much better instead to drive to Birchwood Station, fairly close to the M62, park there (the car park always seems to have spaces to spare), and then catch one of the frequent trains to Liverpool: problem solved. Birchwood station itself is small but clean and tidy, with good signage and information about departures. The ticket office doesn't seem to be manned very often but the ticket machines (once you've mastered them) do the job. All in all: a good place.
