Gilberts bookshop was in Portland Street but I think it closed down a few years ago. I spent many hours browing around in there looking at their fantastic collection of old and new books.

Hello Adele, Using Google search engine I found a newspaper article saying that H M Gilbert closed down on 19 October 2002 - see: http://www.thisishampshire.net/hampshire/archive/2002/10/10/SOTON_NEWS _NEWS03ZM.html Above Bar gets a mention in the article. (You will probably have to cut and paste the web address as it is so long) Regards, David.
