Sheffield History Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 What places have you worked at in Sheffield that are no longer there ? Did you work at the steelworks of Sheffield ? Perhaps you were in the cutlery trade ? Or even you could have worked at Bassett's or the now burnt down Fletchers bakery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjj Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 First job was at Osbourn Mushett tools on Penistone road. I think the building is still there though. Then on to Geo Turton Platts drop forge on I believe Furnival road. This place was demolished years ago. Other places I worked that are gone: Spear & Jackson Royal Hospital Jessops Hospital.

jiginc Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Where abouts was Wigfalls? It was where Harvest Lane branches off. It was the Radio and TV repair shop. The river Don runs past the rear of it and Kelham Island the other side of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sajrp Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 What places have you worked at in Sheffield that are no longer there ? I used to work at 'Lodestar' Engineering on Johnson Street, where the new roadworks are STILL going on at the bottom of corporation st, a bit saddening really as there used to be 136 men worked there when I started there, some who had been there since they were 14!

student nurse Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 My first job from leaving school was at Langtons shoe shop in Hillsboro we were never busy. In fact if we had more than 2 customers in a day we were doing well. It had a manageress can't remember her name who tried to teach me everything about the shoe trade. Trouble is i still didn't learn much. It was a job training scheme so i was paid around £25 for 6 days work (slave labour or what!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
