The 2007 Fabric Awards
We launched the Fabric Awards last year to celebrate the local shops and services that make the Fabric neighbourhoods such great places to live and visit. Food shops, beauty salons, fashion boutiques, bars and more – we asked you, our readers, for your nominations.
Many fantastic places were shortlisted, but only the lucky few scooped one of our precious gongs. Here are our 2007 winners.
