 If you want to look sporty |
12 Coney Street York YO1 9NA United Kingdom +44 1904 64 0722 http://www.allsports.co.uk |
Although this store sells more sports fashion items than actual sports equipment, there is plenty to choose from. And for those that insist upon worshiping at the red altar, there is a whole section devoted to Manchester United merchandise. There is a slightly antiseptic quality to the air here, counterbalanced by the rubber of all the boots and trainers. If such things don't faze you, then you will find this shop an ideal place to visit, especially if you just want to look sporty. Anyone wanting to actually physically do some sport may want to look elsewhere. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A favourite with locals and visitors, and situated not far from the ancient Micklegate Bar, this bookshop will tempt even the most abstemious. The shop itself is small and narrow but don't let this stop you browsing because one room just leads on into another.

For the tired and hungry, the vegetarian café at the back of the shop makes an excellent stop-off point. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Just a stroll from Micklegate Bar Museum is the French House antique shop. It's deceptively larger than can be imagined when you first enter through the front door from Micklegate. The main showroom is full of interesting antiques and on display is everything from china to furniture, as one might expect. On continuing down the passage, the visitor will be pleasantly surprised to find that it opens out into another, much larger room which specializes in antique bedsteads. Overhead are many different chandeliers, lamps and light fittings including some excellent examples in the Art Nouveau style, a style that has now become very much in demand again. Downstairs, in the basement, are even more exciting finds to be discovered by the discerning buyer. Review © 2007, Wcities |
