This partnership appeared in the Sheffield directory (1797) as a manufacturer of Britannia metal goods, silver platers, and factors in Eyre Street.  In that year, the firm registered a silver mark with a picture of a ram’s head.  The partners were Henry Froggatt, William Coldwell, and James Lean.   Scant information is available on them, but in 1801 the trio parted ways.  William Coldwell registered a silver mark in 1805 as a plate worker at Howard Street (and registered the ramshead plate mark in the following year).  The death of H. Froggatt, ‘merchant of Sheffield’, on 9 June 1812, ‘after a lingering illness’, was noted in The Leeds Mercury, 20 June 1812.  However, Henry Froggatt & Co was subsequently listed at Eyre Street as a factors and Britannia metal manufacturers.  The firm appeared in directories as James & Charles Froggatt (1825) and James Froggatt (1828).   James then partnered Joseph Owen as a Britannia metal manufacturer, but this arrangement ended in 1830.  James Froggatt was not listed in 1833.
