I had sort of forgotten about Buffalo. I remember buying one of their fantastict sleeping bags in the early 80's direct from their premises on Valley Road which was in an old "little mesters" factory at Heeley Bottom in Sheffield, on a visit to the Peaks.
I recall going there again 25 years (ish)later when I worked up the road in Woodseats and could not find them.

I have just looked them up on Google and am nicely surprised to find that they are now less than half a mile away on Broadfield Road. I have some Christmas money to spend so shall wait until lockdown is finished and give them a visit.
