PDSA Charity Shop

There are 4 or 5 charity shops at the top end of the Hawthorn Road in Kingstanding. A lot of the businesses that I grew up with around here have unfortunately gone to the wall in recent years as they harsh economic realities bite on the high street. The empty units are generally taken up by Charity Shops, who aren’t subject to business rates and are staffed (mostly) by volunteers, and as such can operate a retail outlet much cheaper than a commercial business. This PDSA shop is usually well stocked with clothes, books, toys and bric-​à-​brac and is always worth a look if you happen to be in the area. You never know your luck!
