I have a First Gold in a pot if you're interested - not strictly a basic bittering hop I suppose. It was taken as a cutting last year and has a couple of buds at the moment. Probably best to treat as a first year hop. I'm in Sheffield too.

Just a bit of advice, you may want to wait a couple of months before you start taking cuttings, at least let a few shoots grow first. ;)
