Reading was a popular activity for wealthy visitors to Torquay. Iredale’s was not just a bookshop. It was also a library from which visitors could borrow books. How many books were there in Iredale’s library? Notice that books were delivered free in Torquay and the surrounding area. For those visiting Iredale’s in person there were separate rooms for ladies and gentlemen. Can you find any other attractions which might be seen in this shop?
