The Buxton Bookshop – 3 Bridge Street; Another of Buxton’s independent retailers has decided to cease trading. The bookshop has given notice that they intend to close the doors on the 31st December. As the might of Amazon and other on-line traders pile on the pressure in the pre-Christmas price war it is independent retailers who pay the price. But so do we, the customers, we loose the knowledge and friendly service of local businesses. We see our high streets demise and the take over of charity and mobile phone shops.

Anothe rnail in the coffin of hte distinctive High Street. I guess we are all to blame though. We shop online and in supermarkets and so must pay the price. Good to see that there is a butchers shop recently (relatively) opened up on London Road.
