The Shambles Bookshop in York UK


A great photo of a wonderful bookshop found on Instagram posted by @dustyatticrarebooks here. I read some of the comments and it seems the shop DOES have a name, The Shambles located in York, England UK. This Instagram feed is perfect for the armchair traveler. It's full of old bookshops photographed from the street and their interiors full of old books. What could be better? Enjoy.

Broom parking! Laugh out loud funny.

Linda Sand -- I guess Witches are Welcome but have to park their brooms outside🧹 Must be a really fun shop. Glad you got a good laugh. xo, Rosemary

Looks like my kind of shop. Sure would be fun to check it out! Love the name.

Pam -- I love the name too. Who could resist a shop called The Shambles or the sign over the shop saying it has no name? Have a great weekend. xo, Rosemary

Your posts are always so interesting, Rosemary. The Shambles bookshop has to be one of your best. Have you ever thought how lovely it would be to own such a shop, and live above? Thank you.

Gail, northern California -- Gail, Living over such a shop would be so much fun, wouldn't it? You could keep buying without wondering where things would fit and create a place where people could rummage around and find the treasures tucked here and there. The name "The Shambles" says it all. I forgot to thank you for saying how much you liked my newly painted house in a previous comment. I think it looks elegant too. Have a great Sunday. xo, Rosemary

Sigh...this makes me miss Downton Abbey. (I've just recently viewed the first two episodes of The Crown.)
