Back To The Shops

Rachel Bowlby

Our high streets have changed so much and so quickly over the past few years, but Rachel Bowlby has captured the essence of shopping all the way from the 18th century to today’s chain stores and pop-ups in her fascinating social history.

She considers the importance of shops and shopping, both in our daily lives, in our memories and in society as a whole.

Well worth shopping for!
