RichardB Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sheffield is too near Wakefield. They say they would sooner serve six years in any other gaol in England than two there; not allowed to look at one another. They don't like the cutting the hair so very close. In Yorkshire, that is a sign of a man coming out of prison or workhouse; it is a common saying in the town; if only in for three days they cut it as close as they can cut it. 1839 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
