An independent Wirral bookstore that's 'at the heart of the community' has been shortlisted for a national award.
Linghams Booksellers in Heswall has made the North of England shortlist in the Independent Bookshop of the Year awards, an accolade which celebrates the work of independent bookstores in the community. The shop is owned by Sue Porter and her husband Mike King, who moved back to the Wirral from the Isle of Wight to set up the shop.
52-year-old Sue is originally from Greasby and now lives in Heswall. Her lifelong love for books led her to make the move from working as a benefit fraud investigator to fulfiling the dream of owning her own bookstore.
