Wrights of Louth
Wrights of Louth
Traditional book shop on the junction of New Street and Eastgate, famous for its upside down sign. The story goes that the shop used to be a general grocery store run by Bill Platt from 1913 for many years. When the sign over the doorway blew down in a storm it was affixed by accident the wrong way up. Bill quickly recognised that it had become a talking point and therefore a good advert, so he left it. Later local businessman Mick Wright took on the store and turned it into a newsagent/bookshop and just kept the tradition.
