I started my working life at S&J in 1957 and met my wife there.I worked in the lab and then the melting shop. I left in 1969.They were great days.We had a great Sports Club.Lunchtimes we had a sports room which had 2 table tennis tables, full size snooker table,dartboard and even a record player so we could rock and roll.
I remember lots of people but one person in particular we have been trying to trace is Janet Hutson.She married another S&J lad,Graham Gibson,but they divorced.Any help would be appreciated.
W dept produced H I Teeth.Names I remember from there are Johny Womack and a toolmaker who was also called John.The manager was Harry Ward.
Really Good Days.

My cousin and uncle worked in the mill he was a bricklayer on the furnaces.
I remember the manager at the time was called Haigh.

My dad worked there for a long time until he was made redundant in the 80's. His name was Len Smith he was also known as Vin. I think my brother worked there too Elvin.

Your Mum also worked there.When I started there in 1957, in the Lab, she was our "Kitchen Maid" She used to mash our tea,fetch sandwiches and generally look after us.
I remember your Dad.He was a grinder.I also remember playing in Brass Bands with him during the 60's.Last time I saw him was on Hartley Brook Rd. Wasn't he a local councillor?
I also remember your brother Elvin whom I think was a sawsmith.We played football for Spears.He was a flying left winger.

my dad used to work at S & J, we left SHeffield in 1965 to come to Canada, his name was Ted Higgins, he passed away in 1992, we visit Sunny Sheffield as often as we can, love my life in Canada, but always a Yorkshire Lass at heart!

I started work at Spear & Jackson in 1963 when I left school but left after a few years.However I went back in 1971 and guess what? I,m still there.We have moved since those days but I still remember many of my old workmates with great fondness.Some have now sadly passed on but others are still with us and some are still working with me to this day.Elvin is still there (Sammyc) and so is Jeff Hall .We all used to work in the I.C.S.Dept. on the top floor at Norfolk Bridge.They were very happy days but now sadly long gone.
