The Montpellier Quarter is the home of the ‘independents’.In the past, the Montpellier Quarter has been known as the ‘Antiques and Art Centre of the North’ and thankfully it still boasts a large number of established and popular galleries and antique shops. However, despite our passion for the past, this has not stopped the Montpellier Quarter looking to the future. There is now an eclectic and contemporary mix of independent businesses, including exclusive ladies and gentlemen’s fashions, hair and beauty salons, spas, gyms, male grooming specialists, interior designers, kitchen and furniture specialists, and Farrah’s famous toffee and foods emporium.
