Excuse me! I spent a fortune at Wardleworths, both in the book department and the art department. So don't have a go at me. I used the shop and I was gutted when it shut. Soon after it shut I went into WH Smith to buy something (can't remember what I wanted now) and they didn't have it and they didn't want to order it for me either. I do appreciate your point though, if rather clumsily made, yes it was because people prefered to buy at the cheaper shops. The thing is that shops like Wardleworths can survive in some towns because there is enough business for them and WH Smiths and that wasn't the case in Accrington.
