Secondhand · since 1991
One of the largest secondhand bookshops in Britain, housed in a Victorian railway station in Northumberland. A model train runs along the tops of the shelves, there are open fires in winter, and the old waiting rooms now serve tea. It is also where the original 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster was rediscovered.
