F Parramore & Sons Ltd Smith Street, Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I am trying to find as much information as possible about a company called

F Parramore & Sons, I think it was formed in 1924 at Smith Street,

Sheffield S35 1WQ.

 

If anyone has any information on this regarding family, F Parramore and his sons it would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Maggie

Paramores was in Chapeltown, near the centre. They made hand tools. I think they closed around 15 years ago but not sure.
