As one examines this historical relic, it becomes evident that Parkin was not just any scissor manufacturer but a true master of his trade. Situated in the heart of Sheffield's bustling city center, Broad Lane served as an ideal location for Parkin's thriving enterprise. This photograph transports us back in time when bustling streets were lined with skilled artisans and their workshops.
