Agreed, this place is ridiculous. Even if everything inside was one pound, as is advertised by the…read moregiant signs, it would still constitute an absolute rip off. This shop will suit you if: (i) You want a 'designer' watch that weighs less than a piece of paper and doesn't tell the time. (ii) You want to see all the worst films ever made in one big pile with no organizing nonsense such as alphabetizing or chronologizing principles. (iii) You are just too calm and want to get stressed out fast. If you don't fit this criteria (you'd be surprised how busy this establishment is) then stay away. Perhaps it would do for a joke present or two, but little else.

This shop annoys me because:…read more 1) It always has 'closing down' signs, but never actually closes 2) It advertises using huge '£1' signs in the window, but hardly anything in there is actually £1 3) It blares horrible loud music out onto Market Street The best deal I spotted in there was a Rubix Cube for £1, but apart from that you can buy awful fluorescent knitwear, dodgy watches, rubbish DVDs, ugly chinaware and snuggle blankets. The signs outside say proclaim that it is going out of business, so hopefully the shop will turn into something useful or cool, but I have a feeling it will remain a terrible cheap shop for years to come. If you want something decent for a quid, then you'd be better off heading to Pound Empire or Quality Save.

I ADORE this shop! I'm a sucker for designer bags (don't judge me..) but can't always afford to get…read morethem new, designer exchange sells pre loved bags and accessories at a fraction of the original price. Some of the bags are literally as good as new. The older the collection the cheaper the price usually (unless it's Chanel...of course). I'm not bothered about the 'latest season' look, I look for quality, design and craftsmanship so this place is heaven for me. They also buy directly from customers. All bags are checked for authenticity so you can rest assured you're buying a genuine item. The staff couldn't be nicer, and they're not pretentious or overbearing so I often just go in for a browse without any pressure to buy. Golden purchase - a hand embroided, leather Dior bag. As good as new. Originally sold for $1700, bought for £90. Can I get a hallelujaH?!

Millgate Shopping Centre may no longer be Bury's main/flagship shopping centre, but giving credit…read morewhere credit is due, they have still carried on despite the new The Rock development and tried their best to still grow and improve, which is rather good for a small town, considering there3 is a lack of empty units around the mall, which is good to see. Brands here include Boots, Costa, CeX, EE, HMV, Waterstones, WHSmith and all of the UK's main mobile phone operators, and Bury Market is right outside. Parking is generally quite cheap, at a couple of pounds, it still could be better value for money right now and as of January 2021, the car park is closed until further notice but there are satisfactory public transport links nearby including via bus and Metrolink, the latter is, of course, quicker from Manchester compared to the 135 which takes twice as long. The staff around the mall seemed friendly and happy to help. 3* - Great for the people of Bury, not really worth a trip out for, but still a decent shopping centre for a small town, supported by The Rock nearby.

Firstly, I'd like to point out this store is in Bury, I know Yelp says that and the address details…read moreare correct but somehow it says Aberdeen as well, which is located at the other side of the country, in Scotland which even looks to break away from the UK and become its own "independent" country, which still sees growing calls despite a failed referendum in 2014, by the SNP who now are the main political party in Scotland, and the third largest in the UK in terms of seats in the Commons, despite not standing anywhere else. Regular readers of my reviews will know, I am fascinated by politics and once again force myself to move away for it for my regular review for Wilko in Bury's The Rock below. This branch of Wilko is a decent size, it is tucked into the corner of Bury The Rock, away from the main street but it is still easy to notice when you are passing, but due to its' location it doesn't seem as welcoming, in the cool part of town where most of the shops are, including Game, Marks and Spencer, Next and Burger King, to name a few other things situated nearby in the large "Rock" complex which is known for a large number of eateries, bowling and large Vue cinema. The decor and range here seemed pretty basic, typical of Wilko, with lots of their own branded items in hardware and other items, which Wilko mainly specialise in, the pricing seemed reasonable for most items. The staff here seemed okay but in a way chatting to them seemed awkward to make conversation, they seemed to have a security guard on duty, which in a way considering the value of the products seemed unusual because it was very cheap, but still they must feel it is needed. This store still lacks the wow factor, and although doesn't deserve a single one star I sadly don't feel it deserves anymore than 2 either, despite being very popular in the past, with previous reviews all written on Qype in 2008, it seems in 8 years this store has changed a lot, but sadly for the worse and not the better.

Wilkinsons is a well known chain for an extensive range of products at value prices…read more The Bury branch is big and holds a lot of stock so plenty to see and buy at great prices, possibly something for everyone whether you're doing DIY, craft with the kids, home wares, toiletries, gardening supplies or even toys. They have an array of various trolleys etc including the often only seen on the continent trolleys on wheels for when a trolley is too big and a basket becomes too heavy! The only downside of this branch is the layout, it's often confusing and follows no uniform pattern so it's easy to become a little disorientated and miss what you're looking for.

The Bury…read morebranch is a massive shop spread out on several floors offering everything from clothes to lampshades to luggage to toys. The bury branch is one of the better TK Maxx's that I have visited as they have a tendency to look messy and cramped making you have to root through things to locate something you may want which is always off putting to me. The stock is ever changing and unpredictable so if you see something you really want i'd advise you buy it there and then as chances are high it may not be there next time you visit. The Bury branch is quite spacious and bright and the main floorspace between the clusters of departments is fairly easy to navigate although the store lacks any real uniformity in it's layout so can be a little disorientating.

Parking can be a major problem though, and the car park isn't the easiest to manoeuvre into if you've got an enormous family-wagon like me, but that's fairly trivial and it's worth the effort. It gets very busy, but there's a long line of cashiers so normally the queue doesn't take too long to clear. Last time I was there it was rather untidy, but I'm hoping that was just because final clearance was on and will give them the benefit of the doubt and award 5/5.
