BM Book Cvr v2 1
Tales from the General Store is specifically the story of Bishop’s Mills, but will be of interest to anyone curious about life in a small village. It includes eye-witness accounts of major events such as the Cheese Factory explosion, and the Great Fire of 1943, as well as many photos and illustrations never before published. Tom Graham’s seven years behind the counter has provided him a unique perspective from which to capture the many tales that have been part of the oral tradition in this community, documented here for the first time.

A must-have for local residents, visitors and people interested in local history. This book will be invaluable to newcomers, plus families and individuals wishing to know more about this small but resilient community.

how to take a 3 minute shower
Worried about the long-term effects of over-use of water? Looking for ways to make a difference - think globally - act locally? Got a teenager who spends too much time in the shower? You need a copy of “How to take a 3 minute shower...and other things one person can do to conserve water”, by local author Theo Graham.

Using simple graphics to illustrate each point, the book is a good reminder that conservation - especially water conservation - is something we should ALL pay attention to, and that there is always something we can do about it. Instead of just reading about it, you can act on it.
