You can often pick up a good bargain here as the clothes are supposed to be 'seconds' - although often it's impossible to find anything wrong with them. Many 'casual' style garments plus fleeces and coats, and some nightwear as well. There are changing rooms too.

Even though it might not be quite as good as Bristol's Park street there are two shops you should really take a look at; The Yellow Shop and Jack & Danny's. Jack & Danny's looks and smells every inch a typical retro clothing store. The shop is so jammed packed with dressed, jackets, shoes and bags that their rails literally explode onto the street outside. This is literally floor to ceiling vintage heaven. You need strong arms and a whole lot of patience to push back the clothes and discover a gem, but if you take the time you'll hopefully find something you love. The ladies who work at Jack & Danny's are perfectly pleasant, but they're there to pick out the best fashion available, not to make idle chit chat (so if friendly service is what you're after - you're better off at The Yellow Shop). The prices aren't cheap, but the clothes are quality with a leather jacket setting you back around £45.

Although dealing in the same area of business, there's really quite a different feel to Jack &…read moreDanny's than there is to the Yellow Shop. The Yellow Shop is quite clean and modern looking, housing trendy garments for youthful hipsters, both vintage and otherwise. Jack & Danny's on the other hand, is quite an Aladin's cave, with vintage clothing, costumes and other random bits and pieces piled high up to the ceiling. There's a distinct musty smell to the place, a bit like an old loft, but that makes it a whole lot more interesting in my books. I like the idea that if you dig around for long enough you might unearth something that no-one's even seen for the last ten years. However, If you're looking for a quick and easy shopping experience, then this probably isn't the place for you.

Keep an eye on the website for an event that takes your fancy and then try it out for yourself.

Focusing on modern vintage ('70s to '90s with a few nods to '50s and '60s) the first room has carefully displayed homeware and little nick-nacks. Owners Jayne and Brett are always there with a 'hello' - they always look so damn happy! - and the lounge music will usher you in smoothly to the back room. Here you will find some good retro clothes, particularly nice are the accessories and brooches available. TOP TIP: Pick up a 'shop-fir-mation' from the bowl at the back, a pick-me-up fortune cookie message in SHOP's unique style.

The owners pick and choose from high-level high street brands and couture - think from Karen Millen to Chanel. A mix of modern and vintage items, but with an emphasis on quality, this is a lovely shop to go browsing in.

If you have quality items in your wardrobe that you no longer want then they will consider selling them for you in the shop for a percentage commission.

At the rear of the store gemstones were actually being cleaned and polished, which was surprisingly interesting to witness. The shop has a large selection of truly stunning gemstone jewellery, such as necklaces, rings, earrings etc... It also stocks fossils of various sizes and prices (as my Dad is a geologist I know straight where I'll be heading next time his birthday looms)! They also sell books on mineralogy, cards, and probably most interesting are the North American Indian artefacts each accompanied with certificates of authenticity. The lady in the shop on the day I visited was knowledgeable and friendly offering a wide range of info about the products on sale. I'll be honest Debris won't be to everyone's taste (it's not really my sort of shop), but if you're after crystals, gemstones, fossils, artefacts etc... Certainly make a visit to this interesting little shop!

The arcade in which The Real Mccoy sits feels a little bit magical and it's a great pastime to go and have a rummage around the pretty dresses and waistcoats.

Even though it might not be quite as good as Bristol's Park Street there are two shops you should really take a look at; Jack & Danny's and The Yellow Shop. The Yellow Shop is as fun, bright and interesting as its name suggests. For a vintage shop it's well organised into tidy rows which are easy to navigate. The stock doesn't change very often, so I tend to make a visit every couple of months or so. But if you love, eighties t-shirts, seventies shoes and sixties dresses this is the place for you. The prices range dramatically here so if you dig deep enough you should be able to find a bargain or two. They also welcome donations, so if you're having a clear out - be sure to pop along.

You'll find stuff ranging from the 60's to present day - some of it's not technically vintage, but it's got the same kind of vibe. The more obviously trendy (and expensive) stuff is located as you walk in at the front of the shop, but if you're on the look out for a bargain then head down to the basement level, where there are tonnes of items on rails and in boxes that you can spend a good half hour, or so, rifling through. If you're into vintage fashion then you should definitely check this place out.
