Kenwood Hall and George Wostenholm

Kenwood Hall and its park were owned by a man called George Wostenholm who was a local cutler.  His father and grandfather had also been in the cutlery trade and owned a company called George Wostenholm and Son and they manufactured knives, forks, pen knives and folding knives at 78 Rockingham Street.  He was given his own trade mark l*XL.

  

At this time Sheffield held a monopoly on the American cutlery trade and George Wostenholm made the first trip of 30 to America in 1836 to set up agencies to sell his cutlery.  The first agency was in New York but they expanded as far as San Francisco.

In 1856 George Wostenholm became master culter.

In 1875 George Wostenholm set the company up as a limited company and he became chairman and managing director.  From 1876-80 records show they had annual profits of around £10,000 and shared produced a 10% dividend.

After the end of the American civil war America could produce cutlery cheaper than the UK company as they mass produced by machines.  George Wostenholms company could not make the trade unions change to the new method of work and the American side of the business was forced to close down.

From 1836 onward he bought large areas of land in the Nether Edge area.  He modeled the area on Boston in Massachusetts and lined the road with trees

. 

He sold of some of the land for development and the houses built were for other cutlers and business men.  Other developments were speculative and the builders of the time made a large contribution to the look of the area.  The area started to change from open fields to a desirable middle class area.

ice ice ice

Ice on the windows.  With temperatures down to -12 at night there is plenty of ice and some of the patterns are pretty.

Nature can provide the most artist pictures and modern science even try to expain them

Eddie in his slumberdown

The temperature never went above 0 today.  The ice had to be broken on the water buckets 2 or 3 times.
Wetting the haynets was a nightmare, in fact the nets are solid and impossible to get down.

Eddie is now wearing his slumberdown rug to keep warm but his coat is so thick he will probably be warm

so cold

Its so cold at night that you can see steam coming out of the grates.  You have to look very carefully at the picture but if you look towards the centre you can just see it

woods in snow

There are some recreational fields near where I live and in this snow they look very bleak.
All sorts of animal life in there including foxes, moles, and there is a woodpecker in summer.

At this time of year they are very quite and all you can hear is the rattle of the branches.

There are some foot prints of the animals in the snow so some things are still living in there

Sheffield Arena Simply Red

Simply Red are coming to Sheffield Arena for 2 nights on 15/12/2010 and 16/12/2010  to do their farewell tour.
This band seem to have been around all my life and in fact have been performing for over 20 years.
There music influence draws from soul and reggae and the first song I remember is "money to tight to mention" - kind of fits in with today.
There is also "holding back the years" and one of my all time favourites "New Flame".

Get yourself down to the Arena to see what should be a great night

The BT building

This is the BT exchange building at the town end of Ecclesall Road  in Sheffield.  This building won awards for design even before it was lit up.

By day it is a very plain building with no windows but by night - what a change

Sheffield has worked hard at revitalizing the city centre and making it modern.  BT has entered into the spirit with a bit of fun and it doesn't cost the tax payer a thing

Rising Sun - Abbey Lane - Sheffield

This is always a pub I enjoy to have a drink in and relax.  Its a traditional real ale but with loads of real ale drinks to try as well as the mainstream beers and lagers.

It is a pub which gets quite busy and has quite a few events on in the form of live music and quizzes.  The rooms are comfortable and there is plenty of places to sit.  There is also a darts board and board games in the pub - so if you fancy a game of dominoes or checkers???  There are also books which you can read and swap

Pub food is also available which is good and reasonably priced.

All in all a good night out
