The best sausages in the world!
Guitar store is Guitar Village without a shadow of a doubt
My friend Roger is a Director and his family founded the business 230 years ago....They still make black silk Toppers for Ascot and the like which would set you back about £4000 each !
They made hats for The Duke of Wellington , Atlee , Baldwin ,Churchill and many Royals but the best name in their order book was from the early 1970s ......Mr A. Chimp
Who was ,in fact, the chimpanzee from the old Tetley Tea Adverts
less interesting major clients include a certain Mr D Beckham .
random fact...all the local banks has closed in the town, there is only 1 cash point there now (one other was ram raided last week....but empty), and the only cash point left (post office) is constantly empty because of it so I’d bring plenty of cash with you otherwise you will need to do a lot of cash back.

Thanks for the tip! I'm visiting Clitheroe this summer. I shall make a point of visiting Cowmans...
These days, garden centres (for the smell) and a decent book store (becoming harder to find)- someone else mentioned Foyles, which is superb.
Guitar/HiFi and special interest shops targeting the minority are the last of a dying breed of shops and even they are being out priced by Amazon or being killed by high Street rents.
I used to love visiting tropical fish shops but there are very few around these days.
Also on the same road, though it has been gone a while now, was an absolute barmpot of a shop called Pandora's Box. It was a junk shop essentially, their stock seemed to be focused around used wheelchairs, random items of 1940s kitchenware, pre-war clothes horses, and a revolving collection of what appeared to be utter crap old guitars, the Suze of which would make even Harry Seven weep. I was gutted when they closed down.
To go a bit more mainstream, I do enjoy a visit to either T2 or Whittards of Chelsea, love the thought of topping up my loose leaf tea provision
