Binns

I love these old House of Fraser stores — they’re just so dated inside, it reminds me of being a kid and getting dragged round by my parents, and the old fashioned lifts which had an operator in them! Sadly you have to press the button yourself now, and there have been some half-​baked attempts at modernisation in places but on the whole, this is the nearest thing you’ll find in town to a traditional department store.
This store is a step above Debenhams, and a step below the proper designer stores but a good place to look if you’re searching for something nice. Their sales are good, and their own brand, Linea, is generally good quality.
Parking is non-​existant for this shop, you’ve got to find a space on street, or in one of the car parks and it can make it more bother than it’s worth so sadly it’s a shop I don’t visit as often as I would like, but if you’re in town anyway and feeling flush it’s worth a look.
