Woollen & Co Ltd, Sheffield, October 2012

[Wakey Lad]

Woollen & Co Ltd was formed in 1883 in Sheffield by Edwin Woollen, a sign writer and Frederick Ibbotson a lithographic printer. Woollens had a large customer base and dealt with hand painted signage, then plastic moulded and neon signs. Woollens closed in Jan 2008 after 125 years following a take over by The Sheffield Co-op Society. A new company was formed (Woollen Signs Ltd) with new premises.

I've spent the whole summer taking weekends away to Europe, grumbling that theres nothing worth seeing in the UK. You've just proved me completely wrong.
Absolutely inspiring photos, what a cracking place! Lovely to see reports coming out of Sheffield again.
