Storyville Books Bookshop UK Nestled in the rolling hills of the South Wales valleys, we are the only independent bookshop in Pontypridd, selling new books and more.

โš ๏ธ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.

If youโ€™re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Welsh Labourโ€™s run of electoral success is globally unparalleled. There are signs of shifting tectonic plates underpinning Welsh politics. Labour & Tories look like the losers. Neither Welsh nor UK Labour are seized of the scale of these challenges. Follow brilliant work by @jaclarner.bsky.social ๐Ÿ‘‡
