Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains

• Too many to mention. High priced designer gear.
• Censored...too expensive, kinda like trendy street/skate wear, not the real deal skate shop or anything.
• mmm...why cus gravesons? i mean its the only place u can still get farahs in hertford? its closing down to be turned into yuppie flats...is that some kind of improvement? the geezer in the mens section at gravesons has worked there for years and he djs at the end...well not really, but i bet he could, i mean he was playing hard house when everyone was listening to the beatles.
• there are a few decent clothes shops such as New Look, ID's, Lofas and more ther is also other shops down there and for men as well, such as Hertford jeans company.
• CENSORED SKATE AND SURF CLOTHING SHOP IN HERTFORD!! OPPOSITE PARLIMENT RECORDS! NOT BAD!! BUT HEY IT'S HERTFORD! A LOT OF CRAFTY STUFF THOUGH!!
• FOR SOME WICKED FUNKY SKATE STYLE CLOTHING!! TRY www.sonsnotdogs.com !! THEIR WEB SITE IS BEING UPDATED AT THE MOMENT, BUT STILL AVAIBLE TO VIEW! SHOULD BE FULLY FINISHED IN ABOUT 4 WEEKS, AS FROM (6/4/01)
• Don't even attempt to buy clothes here. Gravesons is dire, The Edinburgh Woolen Mill is strictly for the over 55s and Hertford Jeans Co. is so small it is hard to turn around without hitting the pestering owner ("Wanna Ben Sherman shirt with that mate? Go on its nice innit? etc etc)
• Why are there no cool clothes shops like Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, River Island, Bay Trading, Outfit,....... the list is endless. Why do we get stuck with a tacky 9-13 shop, New Look, and a 60+ shop, The Woollen Mill? What's happened 2 the shops that cater for the range in between 10 and 60?
• Go to Gravesons if you want to buy school uniform. Otherwise don't bother going ANYWHERE near Hertford for clothes.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
