vox Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Walkers of Sheffield. (AKA Walker Manufacturing) I noticed this demolished building today and had a look at what it used to be. No information apart from a short mention on another forum. According to that it came down in Feb 2009. They were manufacturers of pewter goods. End of info. I tried looking up just the address, to see if I could find out who had been there before, but no results there either. Google streetview and how it looks today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google streetview and how it looks today In 1974 there were two firms working from that address, KROPP MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD & C. MYERS & SON LTD and they were both Razor manufacturers, I would have thought they each made Cut-throat Razors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
