retrotechy

Ralgersmith, Thank you very much for that piece of information. It fits well with what I already know and possibly that the clock still survives in Sheffield. I am told that there may be a Huntsman clock in a Sheffield Museum that is closed for renovation until 2005 but unfortunately I cannot obtain any further info. Thanks again.

Abdul, Thanks for the phto's, they are great. You are right to say that Huntsman was born in Lincolnshire in 1704- a place called Barton-upon-Humber I believe.

Thanks for the info. You have confirmed my belief that his house had been turned into a pub.

I have looked on Google and it is mostly the same stuff recycled by different sites. I am hoping to find unusual facts abut him. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I am trying to research the life of Benjamin Huntsman (the inventor of Crucible Steel) and would appreciate any information or facts that anyone can provide. Is there a statue of Huntsman in Sheffield?
