Can anyone remember building on suffolk rd next to coop funeral care

It was first opened as Talbots the butchers. It was built on the site previously used by Kennings, had a couple of Petrol pumps if I remember. After the pumps were removed Kennings had a Car Hire place there.

My dad worked at Hill Brothers as a holloware buffer just before retiring, then went back part time after my mum died.

My dad's cousin owned half the business of Hill Brothers. He too was a holoware buffer.

 

I worked in the Sheffield Pewterware trade and Laycocks supplied many businesses (large and/or small) - Little Mesters, Pewter, Cutlery, Engineering, Motor trade etc) with pumice, mops, dollies, for buffing & polishing etc.

We sometimes had to call in to Laycocks to collect supply orders, and also used to make the occasional visit to Hill Bro's (Silversmiths) Ltd, I was only young and was fascinated watching those guys creating beautiful silver 'pieces'!. We were always escorted! by a big elderly guy, grey-haired, bit of a paunch, wore thin-metal-rimmed specs (a Silversmith, I believe!?), a really nice polite man. I left the trade and some years later our paths crossed!, we had a chat during which he offered his Hill Bros business card, should I ever have the need, please call in!. I still have the card in a wallet in the loft. Just in case!

Happy times
