Historic Broadhurst's Bookshop Closes in Southport
Broadhurst’s bookshop in Southport, one of the UK’s oldest, has closed permanently after 124 years of operation. Established in 1920 by Charles Kenyon Broadhurst, the shop was beloved for its extensive collection of over a million books and unique customer experiences, such as wrapping purchases in brown paper. The closure, announced with immediate effect, comes after the death of long-time owner Laurie Hardman earlier this year, leading to the redundancy of all staff. Local residents have expressed deep sadness and called for efforts to save the iconic shop, describing it as a vital part of the community's heritage. The reasons behind the closure have not been disclosed, leaving many customers in mourning for a cherished institution. Refunds for deposits and vouchers can be claimed via email as the shop ceases trading.
