Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains

• Well obviously you could look around Freshney Place, although there isn't a very wide selection of shops to choose from, but Meadowhall in Sheffield and Lincoln are only about an hour away on the train, so you could visit there also. Personla favourite is Topshop.

• Go to beorc in grimsby, Victoria street they have some amazing clothes, shoes and they now sell decks. Bya new company from Belfast, the company is run and owned by skaters so they know what they are doing with their decks. So go out and BUY one.

• The only one in town is full of very wierd people who dress up as dwarves and pixies, and chase each other 'round the shop. Avoid.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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.
