Hi Trish, been to Stapleford and Beeston many times. Used to be a couple of really good charity shops in Beeston, though not been for a while so they may have gone by now. Used to have some friends of my mum & dad who lived at Stapleford sadly no longer with us. There are lots of little "towns" in Nottingham's suburbs all merging into one these days. We tend to visit Arnold quite a bit as it's on our side of the city and only takes us about 20 minutes to get there.
