Is it my imagination or are the number of independent haberdashers/fabric shops dwindling? Seems like the big chain stores are cashing in with fabrics, knitting yarns and notions at astronomical prices? Has anybody be else noticed this?

Apart from the tiny rundown towns; medium sized towns round me seem to usually have a thriving independent fabric, haberdashery, yarn, (crafty) type shop. I find my local one very friendly and helpful.

There's a brilliant one in Ongar in Essex. And a very old church dating to the Norman conquest.
