Who else remembers 'Sweatershop' at Meadowhall in the early 1990s. They used to sell lots of very colourful jumpers, sweatshirts etc. They seemed pretty popular but closed.

I think he did, he was the one who appeared on all the adverts.

I remember it being there, but never went in. If manufacturers want me to advertise their goods on my clothes - they need to be paying me, not the other way round!

Exactly what I was going to say Sultana.
I would have felt like a walking advert.
On the same note - does anyone remeber Bankrupt in town. I used to love it in there .. dugarees, hooded tops, millions of pairs of jeans ....

Wow! I certainly remember Sweatershop at Meadowhall.

They had some gorgeous clothes in there. Really nice and bright and different unlike the drab samey clothes around at the moment.

I also remember Bankrupt in Sheffield as well. Opened about 1986-ish I think as I can remember getting some 'Ice' jeans in its early days! Ahhh memories lol.

I used to think that the "sweatershop" was great, there was a time back in the day when you were classed as quite trendy if you donned a "sweater shop top".
