Guest johnmh Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I asked the South Yorkshire PTE (passenger transport) if they would consider putting the names of some of Sheffields famous company names on the fleet of trams, they weren't interested. It really is time that these famous names are given some form of permanent memorial. Dixons Pitchfork Mint Rock, George Bassett, Firth Browns, Brown Baileys, English Steel Corporation, John Banners, Wilkes Brothers, Jessop Saville, Ernest Hadfields, Millspaugh, Cox & Danks, Thomas Black, Stanley Tools, John Walsh, T B Cockaynes, Brightside & Carbrook Cooperative, Joseph Tomlinsons, Shiphams, Binghams Beef Spread, Redgates, Sheffield & Eccleshall Co-op, Brook Bond Tea, Henry Wigfalls, Cole Brothers, Atkinsons, Brook Shaw, Ellis Son & Paramore, Fletchers Bakery, Arthur Davy & Son, shentalls, ellis pearson, Gowers & Burgons, Hendersons Relish,Robert Brothers,Tinsley Wire, There's loads more, please feel free to add to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I suppose they might make a case that it would be free advertising for the ones still in existence (a dwindling number, sadly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnmh Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't think. Many of them exist anymore either swallowed up by large groups and production moved away or ceased trading, my point was to ensure these great names were preserved for the future the steel groups and other fine Sheffield firms should not be forgotten.
