12 Rosamund Street

12 Rosamund Street is a business unit on Rosamund Street which was the former premises for Roy's Rolls prior to its move to 16 Victoria Street in 1999.

Several businesses operated from the site over time:
 * Dawson's Cafe from 1978 to 1980
 * Jim's Cafe from 1980 to 1998
 * Roy's Rolls from 1998 to 1999
 * An unnamed bike shop from 1999 onwards

Dawson's Cafe
Opened in August 1978 by Joe Dawson and installing Emily Bishop as manageress, it was here that Ray Langton first met waitress Janice Stubbs who he would later embark on an affair with. Gail Potter later took her position shortly before the business was sold.

Jim's Cafe
Jim Sedgewick bought the shop from Joe Dawson in January 1980, transforming it into a transport cafe, taking advantage of the passing lorry trade and the new carpark that had opened up on nearby Canal Street. Emily Bishop left soon afterwards, and Elsie Tanner was employed to tackle the more difficult customers. Jim's wife Alma won the cafe in their divorce settlement in 1982, though she sold part of the company to Gail and didn't start working there herself until 1989. Student Martin Platt was taken on in 1985, and it was from here that his relationship with Gail blossomed. In the summer of 1997, Alma sold her majority share of the business, and the flat above, to Roy Cropper for £35,000.

Roy's Rolls
The following year, Gail sold her share to Roy and the business was renamed Roy's Rolls. In early 1999, Roy sold the premises to a bike shop, and moved the cafe to a new unit on nearby Victoria Street, where it remains to this day.
