Thirsk Shops & Buildings – Local & independent businesses in the market town

They say if you have seen one high street, you have seen them all, a carbon copy with the same old high street chains, cafes and shops. It gets tired sometimes. On my chanced visit to Thirsk, a market place near York, I was able to discover ‘off the high street’ shops and businesses on foot in Thirsk.

I am a big fan of local businesses and I am always fascinated by what makes a provincial town tick. After the ‘invasion’ of supermarkets and big chain stores, what else is there for the little guys? Here are the independent shops and businesses that are thriving in the centre of Thirsk, near the market place.
