Found an interesting book at Westwood Books today Ollie and Dave . Published 1988 full of interesting information and photos. In many ways little has changed.
There is so much to enjoy in the elegant market town of Visit Sedbergh, with space to breathe and potter: a friendly approach to life and quirky shops. The immediate area has magnificent walking, road cycling and mountain biking opportunities - tinyurl.com/5n89fnuh

Thanks The Bookseller magazine for this uplifting bit of reading tonight.
If you know anyone who questions the value and relevance of bookshops and physical books, please share and spread the love. If you have an indie bookshop in your town, buy a book or two from them! β€οΈπβ€οΈ
This. This is why booksellers need support and deserve our deep respect. Bookselling doesnβt happen in a vacuum and bookshops make all our lives better. Retail is very tough. The high street is challenging. We need to look after our booksellers β€οΈ #choosebooksellers
Spent the weekend away in Sedbergh so I, of course, had to pop into Westwood Books to surprise Heather and Paul (and buy books!) π
Westwood Books Wonderful Westwood Books under a blue sky. I look forward to the day when I will call to see you.
