We like to visit towns that have independent shops, ones where you see stuff not commonly found elsewhere. We found Chester to be a disappointment, but liked York (haven't been for a few years) and Keswick where we do Christmas shopping each year.
Most town centres these days are pretty soulless places, containing the usual suspects (Next, Body Shop, M&S), but apart from the big names, the only ones who can afford town centre locations are charity shops. Maybe there is a council tax incentive for them.
