Hi can anyone tell me if there are any Hand Grinders in Sheffield,
I was a Grinder for 33 years but sadly I think the job has died out,
or has it ?

Hello and welcome.
There's a link here to a set of photos I took at Portland Works.
Near the end there are a few of the grinders.

Also - Jack Adams (ex-Alma Street) now at Scotland Street still grind their blades the old way.
