The history of retail in Buxton charts the changing world of shopping and the High Street. This short walk with a Discover Buxton guide visits three iconic shops still trading today and learns more of their fascinating history from Victorian times to the present day.
The route features dropped kerbs, and stairs with a handrail in two of the shops. Entry to one shop is via a shallow step.
