Love Street and Woollen signs

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how I could find out if and when a business changed its use? 

I have a Matthew Woollen in my husbands tree with a business, bone haft and scale cutter, (1862 and 1872) the business showing at (Ratcliffe Wheel) Love Street, but Picture Sheffield has this picture of Woollen signs also showing on Love Street. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s27307&pos=10&action=zoom&id=29717

So I'm wondering, if its the same family but the business use changed at some point.

The bone haft business went bust by 1874.

The Signage business was started by Edwin James Woollen who was Rotherham born, the son of a Rotherjam painter.
