Interesting document about W&B & the Sheffield cutlers industry in general

[honed]

I found this very interesting document.
It's about the Sheffield cutlers industry.

7 pages, loads of very lovely pics from W&B & others & tons of information.

The working conditions at the grinding wheels ( )really makes you appreciate your old meat-chopper even more.

Cool article. Both sad and surprising that it laid preserved under "rubbish" until recently.

Thanks Andy, can we reference these in the shave wiki with proper attrition?
