RichardB 14 Posted January 26, 2011 I have this cracked; I had it down as "Bushmakers", 31 Pond Hill, with no known keepers. However, I now have a couple of keepers - male - occupation Brushmakes, beerhouse & shopkeeper (1833, 1837 & 1849) - followed, presumably by his wife in 1852. Let's see what UKL makes of it. ------------------------------------------ Don't know whether UKL saw this in eBay thread, so I've leave it a bit longer ...

Link to ebay item I thought I would just revive an old but very interesting post in case someone could come up with more information or pictures. The old link didn't work for me so here is one on Ebay now. The description sounds very much like the above, ------------ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VTG-PH-P-C-FAMILY-BRUSHMAKERS-ARMS-POND-HILL-SHEFFIELD/372232965171?hash=item56aad04c33:g:xrkAAOSw2cNakt3O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
