- There was a poor scholar about one hundred years ago, my grandfather told my father this story going along the road and at Mr Brooms entrance was written on one of the corner’s.What is it that men and money could not do, and the poor scholar wrote underneath it, All the men in Adams race could not put a straight nose on Brooms face because Mr Brooms had crooked nose.
