Town guide Shopping
A Middle Market 
Middle Market is a charming, old-fashioned market in the centre of the city, just off the high street, behind 
the Marathon Sports Superstore. With over 40 individual shops, it’s the perfect place for anything from 
designer clothes for kids, to fine footwear for adults, to fun covers for your mobile phone. Famous for its 
butchers and greengrocers, it’s also a great place for original modern jewellery. Top tip: stop for a hot drink 
and a snack at Georgina’s – everyone’s favourite café, just across from the flower shop.
B Westway Walk 
Westway Walk is a bright shopping centre with over 20 modern stores including two discount sports 
stores, the town’s biggest bookshop, and the Bucket Shop which sells really cheap flights. The burger bar 
opposite the phone shop is always popular with kids, and teenagers love the clothes at Cool Gear – and 
their amazing prices. For older shoppers, there’s also a branch of P&Q with a good range of traditional good 
quality clothes for men and women. 
C The Old Factory
On your first visit, you’ll find this place a confusing mix of tiny stalls. Next to a woman selling antique rings – 
some with real diamonds – you may easily find another selling old books or tables and chairs, or second hand 
children’s clothes and boots. So take your time, look around, there’s lots to see and do – and finish up at Polly’s 
on the ground floor – open from 12:00 every day, it’s a great place for a hot chocolate and a slice of cake.
D Pettifer Street 
This lively part of town is a popular area for young people. The street has an international feel, with a famous 
night market selling Asian food to take away. More famous for its food than its fashion, this is the place to 
go to for unusual fruit and vegetables. Further down the street, past the newsagent’s selling papers and 
magazines and the jeweller’s, there is a wider variety of businesses, including a travel agent, a sofa and bed 
shop, a shoe shop, and even a mobile phone repair shop.
