Scarthin Books of Cromford has been saved from collapse

Not the business, the building.

BBC News reports:

An acclaimed bookshop that was in danger of collapsing under the weight of its own books has experienced a huge revival, its manager has said. 

Owners of Scarthin Books, in Cromford, Derbyshire, were told in 2015 that "emergency work" was needed to preserve the 150-year-old building. 

It prompted a crowdfunding campaign which led to £12,000 being raised by people all over the world. 

Manager David Booker said the shop had a 20% sales increase after the appeal.

Meanwhile, my scheme to move the Houses of Parliament to Arkwright's Mill at Cromford appears to have stalled.
