More about this scene
There are bargains to be had at Brash & Willan's, where they appear to be selling off the stock of Wigham & Co (any relation to the shipbuilding firm of Wigham Richardson & Co?). South Shields was not only a port with shipyards and ship repairers; it was also a colliery town, with a pit almost in the town centre.

I just went to an estate auction in muncie, indiana, USA... I purchased what I believe is a needle holder, leather, with gold writing. It says: Moncrieff &Beck Jewellers Ctr 14KingStreet South Shields Does anyone know about this business? Do I have the right time period? We're they prominent Jewelers?
