This table-knife manufacturer was founded in 1872 by Henry Steel Carr (c.1831-1912).  He had been born in Kirk Smeaton, Yorkshire, but was living in Sheffield by 1861, where he became a grinder.  In the Census (1881), he was a ‘jobbing grinder’.  By 1893, his firm was located at Brunswick Works, Eldon Street.  In the early 1900s, George Taylor Carr (1858-1909), the founder’s eldest son (who had been born in Doncaster), had become partner.  The latter was involved in perfecting the use of aluminium for the hafts of table knives and forks.  George T. Carr was involved with the Temperance Society and organized its minstrel troupe.  He was also active in the Municipal Lodge of the Oddfellows.  He died on 22 February 1909, aged 51, when the firm (which had become ‘Ltd’ in 1907, with £3,000 capital) was at India Works in Clough Road.  George left £446.  Henry Steel Carr died, aged 81, at Countess Road on 16 January 1912, and was buried in the General Cemetery.  He left £1,267.  The last partner was apparently Henry’s other son, Harry.  No trade mark has been traced and it ceased business during the First World War.
