Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains

• there are no shops for the youthful in coleshill. gimbles is ok if ur lookin for seriously cheap jeans and t shirts or socks but thats about it.maggies sells market type clothing at designer prices.
• Pasha (designer wear) and Gimmbles on the hill
• gimbles... maggies... yeah...go 2 birmingham
• there's a new designer shop but have never seen anyone enter or leave. . .perhaps it's cos the opening hours clash with the school times. Gimbles for large women does a roaring trade of teacosy hats and sensible shoes meanwhile NEWSFLASH! Blades hairdressers NOW OPEN MONDAYS-WOW! finally this town gets dragged into line with any other.
• gimbles, elegance, pasha, one by somerfield-jackies or something.
• shitty wannabe designer shops for 50 year old single women
• Does anyone remember Ragamuffins? It was the best childrens clothes shop, its just a pitty that invididuals who would rather steal rather than pay for their clothes couldn't keep their theiving hands off it!! I spend many a happy hour spending my Husbands hard earned cash in there - the owners were the nicest people you could wish to meet, where are they now?
• They do have maggies, wot more could a young hip teensta need?
• kids zone!!!
• Yes, in fact there are some. Gimbles sells cheap shit. Maggies sells cheap shit. Elegance sells previously expensive designer shit. Oh, and there's that new place by Somerfield which aims to compete with Elegance, adding to the volume of quality garments available at bargain-basement prices in this town. Luckily a bus service to Birmingham city centre ensures that the youth of Coleshill are clothed in decent high street gear and do not have to suffer the shame which is reserved for Coleshill's substantial elderly population White Lace, of Coleshill is the exception. Its wedding shop does a roaring trade, and its other branch sells tasteful (and sometimes not so tasteful) ballgowns.
• second hand clothes shop at bottom of Church Hill on the High St opened by Roy Wood

Arts, crafts and such (Anything from pukka art galleries to craft shops. Trendy and twee both welcome.)

• coleshill is known for its fine range of art shops
• the jenny wren gallery is good for bits and bobs but again solihull is the best place to get stuff from.
• the stationary shop
• there's a gallery shop been open a while now, at least i think it's still open. due to lack of demand they diversified their range of stock into cuddly toys.
• jenny wren gallery,nice thoughts,a new one thats never open up on church hill.
• Well there are some mighty fine pukka pies in the chip shop, there pretty artistic!
• Local watercolour society(bunch of elderly people with nothing better to do with their time but paint a few dodgy pictures), a couple of the artists are good though.
• The only crafts going on in Coleshill are hairdressing and selling houses.

Magazine and Comic Shops

• ONE STOP, dats all us simple coleshill folk have 2 offer im afraid
• Stars and Dillon's - sorry, One-Stop. Stars is the grottier of the two, although it is hard to stand the music in One-Stop for longer than two minutes.

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.
