If you're like me and you love unusual accessories, this is the kind of place that you wouldn't even give a passing glance.

Debenhams Browns of Chester is the only Debenhams store to retain its' original branding, Browns of…read moreChester. It has been owned by Debenhams since 1976, yet the store is fairly old being founded in 1780, while it doesn't seem to compare to the older department stores in London, it still is a fairly nice branch, you can enter the store through street-level or through the Grosvenor Shopping Centre. The store is pretty old and you can tell that through shopping inside, they have random sets of steps and ramps all over, so it isn't just one straight/flat level, so do be careful where you're walking to avoid tripping. They had a huge clearance sale on my visit, due to Debenhams' facing difficulties and having to close many of their stores, including this one, I still found many of their prices to be high even after the discount, I found the promotional offers to be inconsistent and it was hard to tell what item costs what as each part of the store/product range would have a different % off. The store did seem a little messy, but it did have some good products overall and it is nice to see they haven't ignored the history, it's a shame to see this store earmarked for closure as although it isn't perfect, it is and remains a nice addition to the town centre. 3*

This is a large department store where you can find really gorgeous bags, shoes, make up and…read moreperfume on the first floor and loads and loads of clothes on the second floor. This place really is fantastic for womens clothes - like debenhams it has all the usual brands such as Jane Norman and Oasis, and it has a great underwear section with huge variety of pretty knickers. It also has a wedding section with loads of higher quality dresses. Of course these come with a higher price tag that the high street stuff that can be found there but this is where I would come to look for something to wear for a special occasion.

I bought an expensive watch from H. Samuel, it was fine for 2 years,i returned it to them to have…read morethe battery replaced, about 6 months later it stopped and a brown stain appeared on the dial,i returned it to samuels, the battery had leaked and the watch was irreparable, they said there was nothing they could do. I contacted my insurer and they sent a credit card to spend at samuels,they had no watches simlar so i bought my partner new matching engagement and eternity rings,they measured her finger and had to order them as they didn't have her size in stock,when they arrived they were a size too small so they ordered bigger ones,we got the eternity ring but had to wait for the engagement ring,we waited and they said they couldn't get the engagement ring and they had nothing like it and would give us a refund,(a samuels voucher). I said okay we will change for another different matching pair of rings. We were told that because we had the eternity ring more than thirty days we couldn't return it. After a row they agreed to try to get a ring from another store,which they did. the centre stone fell out,we returned it and they had it analysed which showed there was a fault in the gold. They were unable to find a replacement and all they could offer was the samuels voucher again. They were unable to give me cash so that we could shop elsewhere, i managed to get a matching ring from another shop, but i have to find something at samuels that is unlikely to fall apart so i can spend my voucher
