'We are buzzing to have a place where we can celebrate our heritage'
A team of older residents have launched an online bookshop dedicated to Greater Manchester's rich culture, music and history.
The online shop, which is part of an community news website run by volunteers aged 60 and above - Talking About My Generation - currently features 20 titles from local authors. The books include titles revealing the secrets of Manchester, Oldham and Wigan to tales of the region's musical dominance through the years. It was launched following a surge in demand for the news platform's nostalgia and music articles, the Press Association reports.
"We're not quite Amazon yet - but where possible we have tried to beat their price! We hope people will support our bookshop: all profits will fund our news team to continue their community reporting. "And we would love to hear from more authors who are mad for it and want to feature their works in our shop."
