RichardB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yes. I'm not particularly famous in my own right; very close by though, that's a different matter (a few hundred feet). I pre-date the famous place and outlasted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Something to do with steel production ? Or Steam? No - ish and Yes - ish. Nothing to do with Thomas Newcomen and a steam engine then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 No. I was a structure, well connected. Nothing to do with Thomas Newcomen and a steam engine then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I am a 300 year old service structure, well connected and hundreds of feet from a well known Sheffield building(s) which I pre-date and outlasted. I was in one specific location (although others of me existed and still do). I'm not connected to steel per se, but have a connection to steam. I had great foundations, well rounded walls and no roof; I may even still exist. Damn, that's a lot of clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 99% of the most knowledgeable people on this site would struggle to associate a named individual with my creation. (RichardB included, but then, he's a buffoon). Nothing to do with Thomas Newcomen and a steam engine then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Oh, good grief, get a grip ! Service, structure, well-connected, may have something to do with steam, has a floor, walls but no roof - sounds more like a frying pan than a castle ! Stop horsing around !
