  • ... that the Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House in Sheffield, England, was established by Frederick Thorpe Mappin to provide non-alcoholic entertainment to the working classes? Source: "The three-storey building was originally Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House, built in 1877 by Sir Frederick Thorpe Mappin for working-class men to use instead of pubs ... The idea was that working people could enjoy something of the pleasures of ‘gentleman’s clubs’ but without the influence of alcohol or expensive membership fees." from: Armstrong, Julia (30 December 2022).
