A marvellous old secondhand bookshop over three floors with at least two rooms on each. I've been…read morecoming here for over 20 years to buy and sell books. The people are very friendly, and honest too - they have pointed out to me more than once that a book I was hoping to sell them was worth more than I'd thought! Once I took a carrier bag full of old books expecting to get about £20 but I came away with £200! Mind you, that doesn't happen every day but I happened to have a valuable first edition in the bag on that occasion, and it illustrates the honesty of the owners well. I have bought a lot of books here too and half the fun has been browsing. It's such a marvellous old building and the books are laid out nicely with the wooden shelves clearly labelled, so it's easy to find all the different categories. There are books on most subjects and a good classics and general fiction section - paperbacks as well as hardbacks - something for everyone! There's a pay and display car park immediately opposite.

The store itself is beautifully laid out and very well taken care of. Both of the women working…read morewere lovely and very helpful. I love Fat Face's collection at the moment and really like my new boots and Christmas jumper. I do think a lot of their items are very overpriced though. The boots were good at around £100 for real leather, but the pajama bottoms were £36! We didn't end up buying a lot of the items we liked because of the pricing. Most of their winter clothing is acrylic, so absolutely no need for the price.
