Ruby’s, in Horsforth, Leeds
If you live in Horsforth (as I do) then the fact that there’s a brand new fruit and veg shop on Town St is BIG news. It’s called Ruby’s, and I trotted in to see what it’s like… It’s GREAT, which is a relief. There was a fruit and veg shop here a few years ago, […]
La Bistro opened in Horsforth a couple of weeks ago, and we were rather excited as it’s just up the road from us. It looks great. There are twinkly lights on the trees outside, which is a good start (“CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!”, exclaimed Emilia). The interior is modern, clean, and there’s plenty of wood and brickwork […]

UPDATED INFO: This store has now closed, but the business still operates online and at fairs. Rebecca Jade’s Vintage opened in Horsforth last year. It’s like stepping back in time when you enter the beautifully designed shop. It covers items from the 1940s through to the 1980s, so whatever era you’re into, you’re bound to find […]
