Rachael Bowlby, author of 'Back to the Shops' @OUPHistory on how the future of shopping was shaped by its past
"This history stretches back to pedlars and weekly markets and runs through small fixed shops in towns and villages to the grand “destination” city department stores of the last part of the 19th century... followed in recent years by the move online."
