MysTique Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 This may have been answered before but I've done a search and can't find anything. I've lived in Sheffield all my life and have probably heard this hundreds of times, but nobody seems to know why or when it originated. Can anyone please enlighten me?

RiffRaff Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Yup - H L Brown, jewellers of note, is indeed the answer..... I used to work in the next door travel agency when Brown's was at the top of Fargate - in fact, where Virgin is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
