Haworth, where the famous Brontë sisters lived, is only a few miles over the moors. The poet Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, the late Poet Laureate, once lived in the village of Heptonstall perched above Hebden Bridge on the edge of Pennine moorland. Anne Lister, whose diaries give such a vivid insight into the life of the lesbian traveller and landowner in Halifax in the early 19th century, lived at Shibden Hall just 8 miles away.
Apart from the owners, Peter and Anne Tillotson, three experienced booksellers work in the shop; Felicity, Kate and Simon with help from Ness, Carol and Anna. Each one of us has brought different areas of interest to the shop which is reflected in the range of stock and our ability to research and supply information about current English and American titles on many subjects. We can often supply titles which are unavailable elsewhere.
