Rothbury Publishing to close

Just had this in my email

It is with a heavy heart we have to announce:

Rothbury Publishing is being Discontinued.

Over the last 12 years we have enjoyed working with you and launching new cards, new products and sending out orders on a daily basis.

Sadly since covid those daily orders became more sporadic and whilst we have a core or regular trade buyers and retail customers, but a combination of postage costs and the challenges in retail shops we have seen orders reduce to a level that makes the associated overheads with Rothbury too high.

For those not familiar they have produced a large range of greetings cards on a transport theme using artists' paintings and drawings.  They have been on sale in many heritage railway gift shops across the country.

Although we are planning ahead, we don't know what the future will bring here in the Coffee Shop. We have domains "firstgreatwestern.info" for w-a-y back and also "greatwesternrailway.info"; we can also answer to "greatbritishrailways.info" too. For the future, information about Great Brisish Railways, by customers and for customers.
