Sheffield History Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Here's an image of a worker electroplating table forks and spoons in a silver bath in Roger's plating works in Sheffield Can anyone provide any more detail on this photo, and Rogers Plating Works?

tozzin Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Looking at the plater who is wearing a collar and tie to work isn’t something you would see on the shop floor now but I would say he’s working in the Joseph Rogers works that stood at the bottom of Norfolk Street, they did also have a very large works situated in Pond Hill, I couldn’t really say if they operated both works at the same time or when they moved to Pond Hill when the Norfolk Street premises were demolished.
