About Bow Windows Bookshop

Bow Windows Bookshop was founded in 1964 and owned for 20 years by Dawsons, a large public company that also owned Frank Hammond, Deighton Bell and Dawsons of Pall Mall. From 1984 until 2010 the business was run by Alan and Jennifer Shelley.

In 2010 Ric Latham, who started working for Bow Windows in 1998, acquired the business in partnership with Jonathan Menezes, formerly of Robert Frew Ltd.

Gilly Barrett works with us as a part-time sales assistant.

Originally further up the hill at the original bow windowed premises, the shop moved to its current location in 1994.
