Clarks Village

I visited this discount shopping village for the first time since before lockdown. It is owned by Clark's of Clark's Shoes; they have a factory nearby. I was saddened by the lack of customers and by the disappearance of some of the shops I liked to visit in the past. In general, the stock and bargains weren't as great as they were on my previous visits but this is the same all over Britain at this time and reflects the state of our economy rather than the shopping village itself. It's still definitely worth a look around though and I did get some bargains but nowhere near what I've managed to get in the past. I was really impressed by how much more accessible some of the shops are now; before, I couldn't access some of the shops as they were packed with clothes and rails but now things are much more spaced out, so ironically, shopping was easier for me than before. The walkways and paths between shops were always spacious and accesible and that hadn't changed.
