Simon63 10 #1 Posted July 15, 2018 Hi does anyone remember Arthur Nyman the Jewish Tailor, he was in Sheffield during the mid 1930s, a friend of Margaret Holmes. I believe he was still working in the sixties possibly on the moor as a master tailor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
