Guest owl-zat Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Brian Harrington, nothing is too much trouble and he is a born salesman. You go into the shop for a pair of trousers and come out with 3 plus a couple of shirts I go over to Doncaster market once or twice a year just to visit Harringtons for my work trousers and jeans.

DaveH Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Harringtons when it was open. Picture from the cover of Richard Hawley's 2002 album "Late Night Final", - hence the black banner with track titles on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Link to MickJJ's post in Castle or Sheaf Topic On second thoughts I am not so sure this is Harringtons even though it looks very much like it. It may actually be this stall in the market instead Just like all those stalls down the way selling meat or fish, all the clothes stalls look very similar. Second opinion required on the album cover picture please Is it is or is it ain't Harringtons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure was, I always found shops like this very cramped and claustraphobic and wondered how the staff ever managed to find or keep track of everything.
