GfB, the Colchester Bookshop

Specialising in good literature, the arts, history, philosophy, science and local interest titles, the Colchester Bookshop occupies three floors of one of the town centre's most recognisable buildings: the archway leading to Tymperleys. Drop in for a browse, be amazed by our quirky rooms and staircases, and wonder at the surviving medieval hall roof of the Colchester home of William Gilberd (1544-1603), physician to Elizabeth I and one of the world's greatest early scientists. // Bookshop opening times: Wednesday 10am to 5pm / Thursday 12 to 5pm / Friday 10am to 5pm / Saturday 12 to 5pm
