dunsbyowl1867 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 William POVEY listed as Truss and cork limb maker 10 Pinfold Street (White's 1852) Richard, talking of limbs. I recall my first (brief) job at the DSS up Manor I was told in the event of not being able to get to mynormal workplace I should report to the nearest Civil Service office which bizarrely was the Artificial Limb Centre at the Northern General Hospital at the end of our road. I didn't last long enough to test that out but it has always stuck in my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi RichardB I have found a more recent sheep shear bender must be a dieing trade. http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:dexM69q...t=clnk&cd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxingday79 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 On 19/07/2007 at 18:01, RichardB said: James STUBBS Artificial limb maker with patent feet & hands 379 Shoreham Street Kelly's 1893 Have to raise this topic again , sorry. Just thought you might like a bit more background to James Stubbs ( he just happens to be my wife's great grandfather). James lost both his legs and part of his left hand in an railway accident in 1884. He was returning from Chesterfield to Staveley but caught the Sheffield train by mistake. On realising his error he jumped from the train at Lockoford Junction successfully but was then hit by another train coming in the opposite direction which severed his limbs. on recovering he developed and produced his own prosthetics and developed it into a successful business in Sheffield. When you see how far these prosthetics have come and helped people in similar circumstances you have to be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
