The Winterton shopping village - Scunthorpe

Amy W.

Very confused at what this place actually is. We were expecting somewhere with a few different local businesses but instead all we found was a very small garden shop that was cramped and looked unkept, a little shop that looked like it sold trinkets/gifts but looked far too difficult to get in with a pram so didn’t bother and a little reptile shop.

When I say shops I mean huts that resemble cabins you’d find on a building site and there’s very little signage so no idea where to go or what’s open etc. We were coming for lunch and a look around but after a 5 minute (not even that) walk around we were straight back in the car.

Some units looked like they’re just there for storage and the whole site isn’t very well maintained. Definitely has the ability to be something great but unfortunately it’s not.

I used to visit Winterton Selling Centre as a kid with my dad and thought I would drop by and see if it was still a thing. What I found was Winterton Shopping Village and a sign claiming 30+ independent shops. It's like someone tried to create a post apocalyptic trading post from old cargo containers and building site portacabins but deserted it 20 years ago. All that's left is a cafe and a couple of shops at the front. The rest is mostly deteriorating portacabins and rusting cars. It reminded me of the street market in the John Mills Quatermass series from the late 70s, but even the cat skin sellers had decided it was a lost cause and abandoned it. Sadly I'd had breakfast already otherwise I would have checked out the cafe for a nuka cola and some BlamCo mac and cheese.

Weird weird weird. Total lost as to what the purpose of this place is. None of it seemed open. And this was a sat early afternoon. Go if you must. I wont bother though. Dont know if i missed the point. Seems like an analogue place in a digital world.

Bit confusing to find your way around this place. Seems to get better with time but yeah once we put in the work we found what where looking for

Was an inviting little stretch of units, drove past it at first but pleasantly surprised on how many units there was.
