Shopping in Bath
Help fuel Bath's economy by emptying your purse in one of its many shops. If it's a record that you're after, Drop Records (27 Broad Street, 01225 444 577) will serve you up a cool selection of leftfield electronica, dubstep and breaks. For the random and the tatty, Walcot Flea Market (Walcot Street) will satisfy your consumerist impulses for less than a fiver. Bath's most bizarre shop has got to be Vintage to Vogue (28 Milsom Street, 01225 337 323) where Victorian lace nighties nestle against trilby hats. But boys and girls with retro tastes should head to Yellow Shop (74 Walcot Street, 01225 404 001) which does the hard work of charity shopping for you.
