A good size charity shop which is situated in a good place near the centre of town. The charity…read moreshop has a good selection of second hand goods that sometimes need to be sifted through to find the real bargains. The charity shop also has a small selection of new things with all the proceeds going to the charity.

The St Luke's charity shop on Chesterfield Road is really large and has a great selection of second…read morehand goods. I come to this charity shop regularly and find that it is great for books (there are a great selection and are usually around 50-75p each), furniture and clothes. Because the shop is so big there is enough floor space for them to sell second hand furniture aswell as the usual bric a brac and clothes. I've picked up quite a few bargain antique pieces here, and they allow you to reserve furniture to collect at a later date.

This is a real old-style charity shop: tables stacked up higgledy-piggledy, randomly marked down…read moreitems, gossipy volunteers out for a chat as much as to relieve you of any spare cash in the name of a good cause. Just how I like it! The vinyl selection is particularly, um, interesting - very little rhyme or reason to it, but apply enough dedication to your search and you're almost guaranteed to come up with something fascinating for under a quid. The clothing also is set at 'old-style' charity shop prices - kit yourself out for an interview or night out for under a fiver. Who could ask for more? Not me: I've patronised the place many a time, and I'll be back again too.

A great beer shop situated in Stockport Market Hall selling American, British and German bottled…read morebeers - in fact it's one of the best selections I've seen around at fairly reasonable prices when compared with other places in the city centre. On this occasion I popped in to buy some beers for NYE with the shop owner taking the time to chat with me about the different types of beers they had on display and what was new, what would suit me etc. I bought 6 bottles of great beer for just under £20 with Thornbridge, Brewfist, Shin Digger, Left Hand and Black Jack brewery all under my belt - nice selection, will definitely going back. They're also opening up another beer shop and tasting room in Jan 2015 in Heaton Moor.

The watch hospital is a small stall based within Frenchgate shopping centre…read more It is situated between BHS and T-Mobile and opposite Cooplands. This stall offers to fit new batteries and straps to watches and can also do a wide range of other repairs. Anything they can't fix on the day they can give quotes to get sent away and fixed. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and they also sell a small selection of watches. We've never had a watch that they were unable to either fit a battery in or fix an issue and we've taken many over the years. Highly recommended - prices are very good and generally lower than mainstream jewellers.

I went to visit the CAB while experiencing some, ahem, minor difficulties at work (hem hem say no…read moremore). I found them extremely well informed, with a lot of extra resources at their fingertips, and very keen to put clients in full possession of all the facts pertinent to their case. All power to the excellent staff, especially in light of the fact that these people are largely volunteers. You do have to get there awfully early in order to be seen, let me caution you! Unbelievably early! In fact, I would say give them a phone call and check their hours out before just turning up: otherwise you may well just be wasting your time. But it's liable to be well worth a visit should you be in the position of needing a little advice
