David Turnbull   0 #1 Posted December 6, 2018 I have a colleague whose family once owned a pickle business in Kelham Island. They made picalilli amongst other things. Would anyone know of an old pickle business in Sheffield that is no longer trading? The name may have been waterhouse, although that may not be the name of the company business.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   28 #6 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) The Kelly's directories I have dated 1951 to 1965 show "S. Waterhouse" as a pickle manufacturer in Russell Street, and the alphabetical section shows that the factory was on the corner of Russell Street and Kelham Street, near to Kelham Island. Here is a link to a scan taken from the classified section of the 1954 directory. https://i.postimg.cc/8PWhMTPX/Pickles.jpg Edited December 6, 2018 by hillsbro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
