A new railway bookshop opens in Bath!

[Tim Dubya]

My latest eBay find* includes the following item of significant historical interest.

 

*It's been out of print for years with Livid Goose, @Captain Kernow, before you get all protective of that @Not Jeremy chap (with whom I currently have an order for even more train porn).

OK, lesson learned

[Not Jeremy]

Now in new and better premises, a little further down the road to Wiltshire, together with Wild Swan Books Ltd. 

 

Open to visitors on Thursdays, mail order operates throughout the week.

 

So with Coronovirus restrictions due to be lifted, we are open again from Thursday the 15th April.

 

Bus route 3 out of Bath, best stop bottom of Bailbrook Lane and then walk back to the footpath that drops down to Toll Bridge Road, we are immediately on the left at the bottom of the path - look out for the signal arm!

 

Or a really lovely walk along Kennet and Avon, get off at Bathampton and walk over railway and toll bridge and we are on the right past the old brewery.

 

If driving then parking available immediately outside, two reserved spaces. Postcode BA1 7DE for satnavs.

 

And we have just updated the website which now shows a couple of out of print books to be available again while stocks last.

No, in as much as I am outside of it, but if you were travelling from the south or west of Bath I'm not sure how the routes pan out, but aren't most modernish cars exempt anyway?

 

I think very old ones are too!

No problems in a car, the CAZ only applies to vans upwards.

PS:

I fink the 3a bus goes by too. They're every ten minutes or so depending on how the plague is going. Miss a free get a freeA from the bus station* instead.

 

*other stops are available but not all have a Sainsbury's next to them
