[edit] Nomenclature

Although officially called "RB's", incorporating the 80s-themed club "Reflex", the entire 'niteclub/discotheque' is referred to by all and sundry as "Rosie's", dating back to the era, now sadly passed, when the club would be host to jazz, rock 'n' roll.

[edit] Facts and Trivia

Rosie's is a listed building being the site of 2 medieval undercrofts and town houses, now comprising shop and stair to licensed premises at street level and licensed premises at Row level. The present visible structure was rebuilt, probably 1912-13 by RW Boden for Walker and Knight. It is a timber frame construction with plaster panels having a shingle roof. The fascia at the base of the Row stallboard has a carved running pattern of vines; there is a sandstone south pier and a north pier partly of stone. The bressumer carries a jetty to the third storey on paired consoles at ends and centre with 8 intermediate brackets; 2 canted 5-light mullioned and transomed leaded oriels in timber framing with diagonal braces to lower panels and quadrant braces to the upper panels. The jettied fourth storey has 2 shallow 4-light mullioned and transomed canted leaded oriels in timber framing with recessed central and end panels and braced panels at each side of each oriel. A shallow coved jetty carries a pair of front gables, each with a leaded cross-window and herringbone bracing. It has plain bargeboards and the roof behind the gables has a mansard front.

The row level bar was once a pub called 'The Ship and Turtle'. One of the windows has a stained glass turtle on it.
