Janus   28 #2 Posted October 7, 2016 What reasons have been given for the closure Phil? I`m guessing the closure of the surrounding steel plants may have played a part. I think Williams used to supply the stores at the Avesta stainless plant on Shepcote Lane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

handypandy   14 #5 Posted October 8, 2016 That's sad. I remember going to the rabbit warren on Green Lane (?) decades ago.  Me too. If Williams Bros didn't sell it, it was because nobody made it.   . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I wish all my fellow workers good luck for the future.  Is it just the Sheffield bit or the whole organisation that has finished?  Looks like quite a history.
