Roseby's were a chain of small shops selling curtains, bedding and towels etc. Always handy to pop in there for the odd item but they have fallen victim to the credit crunch under the pressure of competition from the bigger stores, especially in view of lack of house purchases.

They were placed into administration in September so that accountants could sort out a future business in new hands. Some shops were sold off to Edinburgh Woollen Mill, but my local branch seems to have closed it doors for the last time.
