Northallerton people, what's happened to the St Martin's hospice shop? I went past today and it's gone! (Okay, so I couldn't have gone past it if it's gone but you know what I mean).

The newest one that opened, by The Works?
I know the Herriot Hospice one closed a little while ago, but I was sure the Martins one was only opened not too long ago?!

A quick ish report back from Bedale, which turned into good hunting: padded gilet-type thing (lining of one pocket needs stitching but nothing major) £3, two pairs cropped trousers, Matalan, 50p each (tiny bleach spot on one but I can probably ink it in!), Jamie book from the recent series (unused) £2, terracotta pot with chip £1, Primark pack-away Mack with a small sunscreen mark that I’m hoping to get out, 50p.

Bedale car boot is definitely on from 6am tomorrow but Thirsk (Woodfield) is still under water so isn't happening. It looks as though Woodfield may add a Wednesday teatime car boot at some point to try to catch up. By the look of the field, sellers will need to book moorings for their boats.  

Do you mean the Martin House Hospice shop?  It closed a few weeks ago, all stock removed and a hand written notice on the door....can't remember what the notice said now    I know of another M/H Hospice shop that closed a little before the Northallerton one, (Headingley, Leeds).  They said that they were 'hoping' to relocate out of town but nothing seems to have happened yet on that front.  Wonder if the Northallerton one closed for s similar reason?

Aaaargghh can't get to Bedale today, do report back if you go! 

That's the one! I think I saw it with the notice in the window but there were still goods inside and yesterday it was totally emptied. As @CAFCgirl says, it doesn't seem to have been there very long.

Thus far: a complete set of Inspector Morse novels (in a box), an Iris Murdoch, a sociology textbook, an obscure Virago paperback about a Catholic education and a Spanish made china figurine of very little artistic merit.

@Frith, I'd not seen those calendars - the Ian Beale one is hilarious, though I'm not sure I'd want him looking at me for a whole year! The benches actually look nice and relaxing.

But he looks positively psychotic! I didn't need to venture anywhere Westcliff or St Luke's today as I got my fill in Southchurch...

Chazzer #1: One large candle holder that matches my art deco lighting perfectly, 3 books - inc one on misogynistic violence, and another on Afghanistan (oh the irony) - 3 jeans inc 2 John Rocha, a pair of new looking Craghoppers, a Wallis blouse and a Debenhams blouse, and weighty CD rack for just under £20.
Chazzer #2: a Wallis blouse and a Tu summer blouse for £1 each, and 2 Costa coffee latte mugs for £1.
Chazzer #3: 3 golden tea light holders for £1. I'd bought similar from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul years ago and believe they are a better bargain than that!
Chazzer #4: I forgot to enter as someone I knew stopped to say hello outside the pub

Aaaarghh,  I’m totally confused now!!  Just walked round Northallerton and the Martin House shop is fully stocked, (but closed today, Sunday).  The one wot has shut and has been emptied is the one next to The Works, as CAFCgirl said!  Can’t for the life of me remember what it was called.  Think I’m having a senior blonde day!

Am really pleased with the £2 CD rack - once I'd cleaned it up I realised it was spring-loaded. Currently on eBay for £30.

Oh crumbs, I didn't think to check again, the empty property was near where the Martin House one is, so that's what I thought had closed. Evidently not (sorry!). The best I can hope for is that I've done the High Street some good as hundreds of MSEers come to play 'spot the missing shop'.

I was in Otley today and found a nice PDSA shop, really nicely set out and well stocked. I came away with Ellesport trainers (£3.99), a new Sass & Belle photo frame (£1.99) and a book (£1).

I specifically went to town to try and discover what was occuring!

So Martins House Hospice is next to The Works, stocked but not open Sundays.

Herriot Hospice shop which is further down and near Lakeland and Cafe 127 - closed? But has been for a while I think.... they've even taken down their boardings on it.

I have visions of various MSE'rs muttering to themselves, pacing Northallerton High Street trying to figure out what we've seen, when we've seen it HAHAHA
