RichardB Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Extract : The business was founded by Billy Clarke in 1918 in a tiny shop on Button lane in the centre of Sheffield. Billy was a keen match angler and was a member of the Sheffield Amalgamated anglers society which, In 1934 went on to win the prestigious all England champions Daily mirror cup. Billy died in 1937 and his daughters took over the business to run it through the war years. His son Billy then took charge of the business in May 1946 when he returned from the army having served right through the second world war. http://www.billyclarke.co.uk/about_us.php Link currently broken or server down ....
