Sure it must be of the same chain. They used to sell cakes and delicacies, then one would go down to a lower floor for lunch or afternoon tea! Mmmmm! fond memories. A long time ago now. Pity it eventually closed down.<br />RoseUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173885485940301511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708002367015674646.post-89200843043483047802010-09-15T17:39:05.851+01:002010-09-15T17:39:05.851+01:00I think you'll enjoy it Mags as it's a lov...I think you'll enjoy it Mags as it's a lovely little book!<br /><br />I agree that this book will be a useful resource for any miniaturist who is thinking of creating a vintage shop. There are some lovely black and white photos of shop interiors and shop fronts. I think my favourite image is the interior of the Thorntons Book Shop described as "A haphazard display of their stock". Basically there are dozens and dozens of books perched on shelves (some precariously) around a Victorian fireplace! Wonderful.

I can say that I haven't been able to put her book down since I got back! Apart from fabulous memories and photographs of Oxford shops it would be a wonderful resource for miniaturists.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645745567704043687noreply@blogger.com
