Cancer Research UK

Alright, so you're looking for a charity shop in town? Cancer Research UK on Lord Street is your shout. It's not massive, but they usually have a decent selection of clothes, books, and bits and bobs for the house. Proper secondhand stuff, like you'd expect.

I've nipped in a few times and always found something worth a look. Google reviews are sitting at 3.9 stars from 11 reviews, which is fair enough. It's a charity shop, not a department store, so keep your expectations realistic. It's handy if you're already on Lord Street doing your shopping.

They're open pretty much all day, Monday to Saturday 9am-5:30pm, and even on Sunday from 11am-5pm, so you can usually pop in whenever. Phone number's 01704 537079 if you need to check if they have something specific.

One tip: parking on Lord Street can be a pain, especially on Saturdays. Try the side streets or the Central 12 car park and walk.
