St Annington Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Picture Sheffield have a photo of George Brown homoeopathic chemist and dispenser to Sheffield Homoeopathic Dispensary. He seems to have a disturbingly small head!! http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s08681&pos=1&action=zoom&id=11805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 8 foot three, built like a bulgarian outhouse, hence a normal-sized head - bald as a coot and sporting a very early set of Beats Audio headphones - a man well ahead of his time.
