Anyone living in Rushden will be familiar with the Osborne’s Sports & Toys shop in our High Street, and we are very pleased to have Will Osborne as our president. On Friday 31 July, they are celebrating the shop’s 65th anniversary, and to commemorate the event two specially commissioned jig-saws will be on sale. One is a 500 piece painting of the shopfront, done by Keith Hill, and the other is a 1000 piece montage of shop photographs. Both puzzles will be on sale from 31 July, and a portion of the profits will be going to Rushden Museum.
