We love a potter around Yorkshire's local bookshops 📚
Leanne Yeomans, the owner, is all grown up now, but her love of books began in childhood and she has been an avid reader ever since which is why she is now passing on her own passion for books to the next generation.Since opening her aptly-named children’s bookshop – Through the Wardrobe, in Nettleton Road, Mirfield – she has been selling a world of adventure and make believe.
Supported by her husband, sister, and niece who creates the window designs, bringing the dream to reality has been a real family affair. “It was very much a family effort with everyone chipping in how they could, and my little boy being the perfect picture book tester!” “We really noticed everybody was turning back to reading. It has been massively successful,” says Sarah.“People want simple things again. We really noticed things that were selling were poetry books and nature books, and I think people are going a bit back to basics – the simple things in life.”
During the five years since the former NHS radiographer opened her shop, she says she has seen demand rise, in part prompted by the legacy of the pandemic making people more conscious about shopping local.
