When I worked for "Pickfords" in the 60 s and 70s we used to deliver quite a few of their machines to customers all over the country and we usually installed them at the delivery point. If I recall correctly it was a fairly awkward place to reverse an articulated low loader into the loading bay as it was on the corner at an angle to Stanley Street.

Hello,

If you were expected to use the shop door on a 45 deg. angle, that would be in the old part of the works, corner of Stanley Lane and Joiner Lane. You certainly had your-work-cut-out manoeuvering a low loader in there. Come to think of it, Snow's shop doors never had good truck access, even the one in the new (1951) part.

Regards

I worked at Snows as a mechanical designer for 12 years up to its closure . The production was moved to either Newalls (Peterborough) or to (I think) Keithly. I think that will have been about 1981.From the ashes of Snows arose 'Mons' (turn Snow up-side-down to see why.These were a group of ex fitters who continued to work in part of the Snows premises.I'm not sure whether its still in existance.

When I was there Jack Snow was around for a very short while (Elliotts has already taken over then) .John Noble was still around but I think in a non executive position. Jim Earnshaw was the chief designer (and an excellent one to ). Arnold Thompson was the Tecnical / Works Director up to its closure. Sid Little was a fitter (and an excellent one).In the time I was there the unions were certainly a problem to the management. CNC machines were just starting to be developed thoughout industry but that wasnt the cause of its demise - probably that big business rationalised.

I still have some of their catalogues. I remember Stan Lilley well.some more names - Alan Pidd - sales ./ John Roberts -Purchasing./ Alan Shipman - Works manager for a time/. If more comes to mind I'll add them.

Hello,

Jack Snow from Snow & Co was my grandfather and I am looking for information and images of the company (especially of the large wall with Snow & Co painted on it) and of him... If anybody has any I would be so happy if you could pass them on!

Thank you very much,

Emma

Hello Emma

I suppose you know this but Jack Snow had a house in Dronfield - at the top of Hallowes Lane.(only a few 100 meters from where I live now)

His initials are built into the gable end of the house.

I posted the message just above this one (worked at Snows 12 years etc etc

Whilst I have a catalogue(s) of Snow machines I dont know if theres a photo of the premises.

I'll dig them out of the loft (if I can find them) and let you know if so.

Best regards

John

When I worked at Henry Matthews and sons on Cricket Inn Rd in 1957 I was 15 and they sent me next door to S A Wards with a load of cyl heads and clutch plates for grinding when I took them in to the noisy shop all the machines were belt driven from overhead spindles the gaffer said to me that we don't have time to do them so they sent a bloke to show me how to surface grind them he did one of each and sais tha nose ahr to do em nahr so gerr me a jpb thereon wi it so I did and it was a Snow grinder,I became so good at it they offered me a job there but I declined but I loved doing the work.I used to go every day,they had a shop inside which sold drinks and pop and choccy biscuits etc so I had an order from the guys at Matthews.
