St Pauls bookshop to close

Last day of trade on Friday

One of the best known and longest standing shops in Ramsey is closing its doors for the last time on Friday.

St Paul's bookshop in St Paul's Square has been selling books, stationery and gifts in the town for 40 years.

In 2013, part of the premises was converted into a coffee shop with seating.

A notice on the shop window confirms that the last official day of trading will be 21 October, and the shop's Facebook page is no longer available.

There's been no comment thus far from the owners on why the business is being closed down, but staff have been told their contracts have been terminated.
