Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains

• Rebellion's been sold - posh frocks shop, they do Seven for all Mankind jeans & Marco Polo - but Moschino and Paul Smith are a bit pricey compared with New Look! And the lingerie shop at the end is pretty nice - Minoosh - new modern shop, do designer kids clothes as well. Not much for the lads though - M3 is pretty good, but its a small shop. Nice people.
• Big new look but no boys clothes shops
• There is a new clothes shop which opened in Rushton's Yard, Ashby-de-la-Zouch in November. It sells both Men and Womens, age range around 16 - 25 for both. Really good, up-to-date fashion at a reasonable price! They have regular updates of stock, so they've always got new stuff in. Plus, they havent got thousands of the same things for women, so you can find something different. Little and often when it comes to stock. 10/10!
• Not many to Be honest, especially mens clothes, very limited. Women have the likes of Dotty P's and New Look, where men only have one reasonable shop M3, which sells many designer labels such as Ben Sherman, Lambretta etc.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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