Abstract: |
The publication examines the Sheffield cutlery and tableware industry from Chaucer's time and before, up to the present day. An introduction by James Symonds gives an overview of the industry in both local and global contexts. The first part of the volume looks at the development of the cutlery and tableware industry in Sheffield, including sources of information, the making of cutlery and flatware and of forks and spoons, and trade organisation. The latter section looks at the workshops of the cutlery and tableware industry in Sheffield, its geographical development, the architects, buildings and materials, the structural and external characteristics of the workshops and their internal characteristics and layout. A postscript looks briefly at Sheffield in the present day, and at the preservation of its industrial heritage. Includes a glossary of Sheffield manufacturing terms. |
