Now called Aldous Books (recently acquired in 2024). Can be accessed in the courtyard of the Bluecoat building. Access Bluecoat off of School Lane. Google maps location led us to think we were in the wrong place. Found a couple of excellent books on Welsh history. Quite a number of books written in Welsh. Great little shop with knowledgeable staff.
