carsupplier Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 There used to be a small pickle factory on the Thurcroft industrial estate where I used to work, that was about thirty years ago, don't know if it's still there, the name Hoskin's seems to ring a bell though. I will try and find out over the weekend and let you know masbrolass. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masbrolass Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thank you carsupplier and Val.A. I thought I was going bonkers, I'm sure they did pickle onions, those really big fat ones. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejuan Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thank you carsupplier and Val.A. I thought I was going bonkers, I'm sure they did pickle onions, those really big fat ones. Cheers. I knew the man himself many years ago, he was a member of West Stockwith Boat club. I knew the commodore at the time and spent many a good night in the clubhouse.

milko Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi, not sure if this is correct but I seem to recall there was a pickled onion factory on Lister Street at Clifton, Rotherham years ago, I thought that was Hoskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense because some of the family were from Clifton. I've googled earthed it but looks like a few possibilities on there.
