From the Archive …A Note from November 1946…

WE commenced business at our present shop 116 years ago in the reign of Geo. IV, but we barely SURVIVED the War, as we lost several premises and warehouses, the most regretted being our shop, The Cloisters, Temple, built by Sir Christopher Wren,

and a basement warehouse in Lamb Building, Temple, the writer having the bitter experience of seeing these premises, the Temple Church, Inner Temple Library and many others destroyed by enemy action on 10-11 May, 1941 from 11 pm to 5 am. next day enemy aircraft appeared to be incessant.

To see tens of thousands of books, many irreplaceable, destroyed is sad, and the world, even enemy countries is the poorer. Another warehouse near Chancery Lane was bombed, but after many weeks of dangerous labour in the condemned premises we managed to salvage many lorry loads of books and placed them in the basement of 3 Stone Buildings, Lincolns Inn. Two days after we had finished, a bomb fell and destroyed the lot.

ANOTHER CAUSE of our near extinction was that owing to War Service, at one time our staff consisted of EXACTLY ONE, and he (over sixty) was in the Home Guard. Fortunately our HQ in Lincolns Inn remained intact with the exception of losing all the glass several times.

WILDY & SONS, LTD
Lincolns Inn
November 1946

The note above was written by W.W. Sinkins, grandfather of the current owner, as an introduction to our first post war catalogue in November 1946. During the war in addition to running Wildy’s he was an ARP Warden and as he describes witnessed the bombing of Temple in 1941.




Celebrating 182 Years of Service to the Legal Community

The Company was established in 1830 at our present location in Lincoln’s Inn Archway catering for the new, second-hand and antiquarian law book market. We also have a second bookshop at 16 Fleet Street to cater for our Temple based customers.

Whilst retaining the charm, atmosphere, traditions and personal service of a bygone and gentler age, our experienced staff in both bookshops are equipped with all the necessary technology to deal with the ever increasing demands of the 21st. century.

The key objective for our online bookshop is to retain this unique ambience whilst also providing all the products and services required by our customers, whether students, practitioners or professional information specialists.
