- That clarendon park shop, ocean commotion. if only for the name and the colourful sign. i bought a goldfish from there and it got sick and died. that was of course more to do with my maltreatment than the shop.

Well worth a visit if your looking to get rid of them old rads.
- musiem new walk
- silver arcade for its bizarre variety of shops.
- Dominos, and some other place beginning with G near the market square!
- For funcy nic-nacs visit upstairs in the silver arcade to find some original things - and hand made hats - you can design your own, if youfancy a bit of that. See the museum on new walk if you have an erge for something cultural - the other museums and galleries just don't match up. It has a grand facade, with pillars that look like the greeks came over and built it themselves! Theres loads of dead mummies (of course there dead - apart from a poor replica coming through the wall to scare children!) Upstairs is the gallery and they sometimes have clothes that you can dress up in and prance about. Oh and new walk itself (the street it's on) is pretty too with lots of georgian houses with big-shot accountants and lawyers counting their money in.
- Dominoes toys. the greatest Toy arts and Crafts shop on the Earth, the place has everything.
- Andy:Dominoes toys. the greatest Toy arts and Crafts shop on the Earth, the place has everything.
- SET....very twee, very obvious but very nice all the same
- PEEL : [ gallery ] Carts Lane ( end of Loseby Lane )
- The museum on New Walk always has some fascinating exhibitions of art and science/history.
It's free to get in, and if you've got nothing else to do for a couple of hours you could do a lot worse.
- Tin Fish, Silver Arcade For Froody Shoes
- My sister, Gemma works in a shop called Dimension Cane on Silver Street. If you ever want any cane furniture, futons or knicaknacanoos pop in.
