Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains
Help the Aged, Ethel Austin and 'Just Looking', all for the discerning fashionista.
Cant beat the numerous charity shops, the true styling of the casual atherton person
bernardos the dodgy little shop of horrors any one seen going in is definantly about be called or have the pisss taken out of them or the hospice shop where all the council estate people go.
If you don't mind wearing stuff that a tramp would look down at, then you could do worse than to go in the charity shops (Atherton has 1 charity shop for every 6.2 people).

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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