Hudson's eventually had three shops as I remember, the original as in the picture, one at Gosta Green and one at University at Edgbaston. Just down the Road from the main shop, near the corner of New Street there was another great bookshop, Cornish's. Cornish's has been mentioned in recent...

It's a long time since I started this thread. I had just got an 1819 copy of Hutton's book. Well this Christmas my wife bought me an 1835 edition which includes the Life of William Hutton. Happy Days
