Freddie picks up Plymouth Post’s book of city stories

7 November 2026

A bookshop visit became a proud moment for Plymouth Post when Mark Sowton took his son Freddie to Ivybridge Bookshop to buy a copy of Plymouth Post: Stories of the City.

The book brings together 43 illustrated stories about the people, places and history that make the city unique. A photograph shows Freddie proudly holding his new copy alongside another book about Plymouth.

It is always encouraging to see the next generation taking an interest in local history. The book is available from Ivybridge Bookshop and on Amazon.
