• I took my business 'Teagowns and Textiles' 28 Broad Street. Leominster. to the two some 2 and a half years ago, and have since opened another at Number 30 Broad Street. I have attracted a lot of customers from across the country and bought a lot more business to the town; also by running vintage textile and costume fairs at the Lion Ballroom quarterly. We stock around 2 to 3000 items of antique costume and accessories, for sale to the public, theatrical , t.v. and films. Broad Street is also the home to several upmarket decorative antique shops, plus two antique markets.
• Walters Factory Shop is worth a visit
• quite a few, suits, cheap stuff, nothing very alternative thou, and its almost impossible to find decent jeans!!
• Not very many, unless you like budget shops. This is where Hereford beckons...
• Seconds ahead
• Absolutely nothing for anyone who is male, between the ages of 15 and 30, and doesn't want to wear second, third or even fourth hand clothes!!
• Could do with a shop selling larger modern ladies clothes but pretty good selection otherwise
• There are clothes shops that suit the Leominster people who are on a budget or people who need pants. Clothing is more specialised in the local places of Hereford(13 miles) and Shrewsbury.

• few craft shops, not very active
• Do abandoned, burnt out cars and hyperdermic needles count as art? If they do then Leominster is a mecca for modern art critics.
• There are lots of antique shops around. The best craft shop is probably Capriole Crafts on High Street.
• the staff in capriole crafts have had no customer relations training as they are rude and uncaring to people with disabilities.
• Lion Gallery, Rhea Gallery The only Barometer shop in the WORLD
• capriole crafts has cats sitting in it's windows frequently, and sells bolsar wood and fabric paint. nice
• The libary holds exhibitions of interesting art. The lion Gallery in Broad Street Leominster has provided a space for local artists to display their work.
• tons of antique shops and bric-a-brac and charity shops

Magazine and Comic Shops

• Extensive collection of porn on etnam street.
• There are several newsagents about the place, but the biggest variety is probably in Preedys.

• Don't pick up a magazine in Preedys if your in a school uniform, you'll be subjected to demands of whether you're going to buy it or not.

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.
