Any ex customers on here ? Really upset when it closed. No other outlet for radical books, magazines or papers in Shefield. History has passed places like that by for technological, political or ironically, market reasons

Its now a Starbucks, quite quite ironic! I never went in myself but I've heard a lot about it, the porter bookshop has a few radical books in it.

hiya taking history and modern day living to mind i have just read your post, a few years ogo i went in a bookshop on division st in between cambridge and carver streets i mensioned to the assistant that i remember the shop in the 40s it was called applebaums at that time, and she wasn't interested at all i suppose its the modern life and we have to get on with it.
my mum would buy me annuals eg funnies album, radio fun, film fun,beano, dandy.

:mad:It's a S**rB***s!!!
Ironic indeed. Would've been more fitting to at least have become a independant coffe shop, rather than one of....those!
So, where do people buy the material the Indie used to sell thesedays?
