  1. Brothers Charles, Edwin and Henry Cadman comprised the firm Charles Cadman and Sons, file manufacturers and merchants. They operated in the Lambert street area from the late 1700s until at least 1833, and were listed at the Canal Street Works, Blast Lane in Whites 1837 directory. The partnership was dissolved in 1842 when Charles retired, though the remaining brothers kept the original company name. Various companies operated from the works/warehouse in Cadman Street, and the Cadmans were probably not the first there. Edwin and Henry were commisioned and operating canal boats in 1836 and in 1841 their new sea going 70 ton vessel overturned on its launch at Masbro killing 50 people. The Canal Works/Warehouse is not shown on Leather's 1823 plan but it was already built when the adjacent Canal Tavern was up for sale in June 1822.

  2. Anyone recognise this location? This photo was posted on an 'old Sheffield' Facebook group recently (by Peter Snell), looks like a school photo judging by the school teacher motor board hat. Would love to know where it is. The kids are holding bowls and jugs, and are the boys on the right holding some kind of PE apparatus? Does anyone recognise the church in the background?
