EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1950, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of edge tool manufacture at W. Tyzack and Turner in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The image showcases a group of skilled workers diligently setting circular saws with utmost precision. From back to front, we see Harr Young, Billy Hance, Bud Wainman, Joe Price, Harry (junior) Beaumont, and Leslie Bennett engrossed in their craft. Their faces reflect both concentration and expertise as they work together seamlessly to ensure the quality of these essential tools. In the foreground stands Alf Linley, effortlessly rolling out another finished saw from this bustling workshop. This photograph is a testament to Sheffield's rich industrial heritage and its reputation as a hub for edge tool manufacturing. It serves as a reminder of the craftsmanship that went into producing such vital instruments during that era. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries' archives under reference number s10250, this snapshot offers an invaluable window into an industry that played a significant role in shaping not only local history but also national progress. As we admire this piece of living history captured on film over seven decades ago, let us appreciate the dedication and skill embodied by these men who contributed to Sheffield's legacy as one of Britain's foremost centers for edge tool production.
