LOVE IS IN THE AIR AT BROWN & GOLD THIS MONTH

6th February 2017 Shopping habits have changed so much since our family established this pawnbroking  business back in 1840. The internet, black Fridays and ever earlier ‘January’ sales are just a few examples. For us our sales are up on the year, lending is higher and the business is building a fine reputation so we are certainly not complaining.  However, I somehow miss the excitement of helping the last minute shopper who knows they have left it late to find the perfect gift for their special someone. Perhaps these days... Read More

The Summer is Over – Did it Ever Begin?

5th September 2015 What a wet and windy summer we have had this year! When I wrote the July edition of ‘Diary of a Pawnbroker’ I complained about the rubbish weather and the need to get away to warmer climes.

A gentleman wanting to help his cash flow while waiting... Read More
