The Petersfield Bookshop specialises in buying and selling antiquarian and second-hand books, as well as antique maps and prints. We also sell new books and can order (often for next day collection) any title not in stock. We have an on-site bespoke picture framing workshop and can arrange for picture and print restoration and (on-site) bookbinding services.
The Petersfield Bookshop was founded in 1918 by Dr Harry Roberts, an East End doctor who had helped set up the Panel Scheme (the predecessor of the National Health Service). In 1958, Frank Westwood bought the business and relocated it to Chapel Street. Sadly Frank passed away in January 2006 but the shop continues as a family business, with Frank’s wife Ann and sons David and John being partners.
