Yorkshire Trading Co

The yorkshire trading company have been around for years in various locations, up until I moved into the area I had only ever been in one when I was younger. Since moving into the area I am a regular visitor to browse around the store. Inside the store they sell a full range of items from clothes, to party bags, to fabrics and materials. I always love the back end of the store where all the crafty items are, including ribbons and craft items at a hevily reduced price to clear the stock! You can get pretty much anything in this store, a must for anyone!

Yorkshire Trading is located nearer the Sainsbury’s end of Manor Walks Shopping Centre mall in Cramlington. It is easily accessed from either the Sainsbury’s carpark or the central carpark outside of the Subway shop. The store has a large staircase outside of it but it can be accessed if you have a wheelchair or pushchair via a ramp that leads alongside the florist shop at the central entrance doors of the mall.
The store has two windows which are always set up in an attractive display showing what products they sell. In actual fact it would be quicker to say what they DON’T sell! From gardening equipment, tools, pain, household furnishings, cards, clothes, pet accessories, cleaning products, vitamins, books, underwear, fabrics, toys, stationary, sweets, ornaments and everything else for the home — this is my first port of call when I’m looking for a specifc item at the cheapest price.
The store is huge and the aisles are qite narrow. Paint, tools and garden stuff is on the left. Clothes are on the right. Staionary and clothing accessories are in the central aisles. Fabrics are at the back of the store. You can actually buy ready made curtains etc or buy your own length of fabric from rolls. Everything else the sell is located in the far right hand side of the store.
It is usually quite messy inside as buyers tend to rummage through the stock and leave it on the floor. Staff are always to be found around the shop to help you. There are often high wall displays where you will need to ask a staff member to retrieve an item.
There are usually queues at the tills (there are about 3 or 4 tills). The staff are very nice and friendly though.

A bit of a strange shop, hard to define exactly what sort of shop it is. They sell a bit of everything from clothing to gardening equipment and their prices are very competitive. Unfortunately, inside it is a bit of a bargain bin and can be hard to find what you’re looking for but there is a fantastic range and there are bargains to be had if you have the time to browse. Can be difficult to browse if you have a buggy or wheelchair as access is narrow and so restrictive.

Located conveniently in the middle of Manor Walks, Yorkshire Trading Company stocks a range of cheap goods. They have a reasonable DIY section, clothing including Fruit of the Loom seconds, Rydale clothing, stationery and craft materials, household goods like cleaning supplies and pots and pans, toys, cheap books, cards and a large seasonal selection e. g gardening, Hallowe’en and Christmas novelty items. It’s great value for money — frequently the goods in store seem to be end-​of-​line items from other shops that are sold at discounted prices here. Staff are pleasant and chatty. The back of the store has a haberdashery section with a supply of fabric, yarns and accessories for home sewing, knitting, embroidery and crochet.
