Taylor’s of Ormskirk

From one side, Taylor’s looks like a perfectly normal newsagent. The only problem is that, from the other side, it looks like a perfectly normal little café. This is because the shop itself is half newsagent half café.
This unusual but handy feature in the shop means that you can buy your weekly copy of Heat before popping next door and reading it all with a cup of tea. The selection of magazines in the newsagents is pretty varied without offering anything too obscure like Knitting Weekly, and their sweets and drinks there are competitive and pretty cheap.
The café side is pretty simple but cosy enough, with Taylor’s offering its customers a small selection of hot and cold refreshments and snacks whilst you sit and watch the world go by through Ormskirk village. Both sides of the shop are reasonably-​sized, meaning they can fit plenty in there without making you feel too cramped.
A decent place to go for your glossies or a cup of tea.

This is kind of like the local version of W H Smith’s. They sell greeting cards and stationary, books, newspapers and magazines, and sweets and snacks – but they also have a coffee shop in house. I find this impressive for an independent newsagent.
The shop was clean, well arranged, and reminiscent of the big guys, but in a good way.
