In 1843 a young Sheffield mechanic named John Easterbrook began working for himself. By 1852 he had entered into a partnership and traded as the firm of Easterbrook & Scatchard working as toolmakers and machinists inSuffolk Road. Two years later the firm was known as Easterbrook, Scatchard & Drury, and at its Albert Works in Suffolk Road was making ratchet braces, hammers, spanners, screw stocks, taps and dies, lathes and all kinds of tools made to order.
Being an engineer had become the trade to be in; a new, young, dynamic industry, which everyone said, would provide a job, a good well paid job, for life
for those young men lucky enough to get themselves the right training.
The business became a limited company Easterbrook Allcard & Co Ltd in October 1897 with Harry Allcard, James Allcard's son, becoming chairman.
By the time of James Allcard's death the once small enterprise had become a substantial concern with fine offices, a number of turning shops, an erecting shop and a number of smithies. Contracts for the firm's output had been obtained from such prominent clients as the
British Admiralty, the War Office, the India Office, railways both at home and abroad, and even the German Navy was buying Easterbrook Allcard tools. And what tools. Made for engineers, boiler makers, smiths, ship builders and plate layers the range of tools now produced was truly astonishing. The firm's 26th catalogue published in 1900 lists around 200 different hand tools being offered for sale in addition to the company's
machine tools.
Around 1858 the name changed yet again to Easterbrook and Allcard with premises in both Leadmill Road as well as Suffolk Road.
The business moved to its present location, a new Albert Works, in Penistone Road in 1869.Founder John Easterbrook now drops out of the story and the business baton passed exclusively to his partner James Allcard. When Allcard died in 1887 his devoted employees hired top hats and other regalia to attend the funeral so great was their respect for him.
The forecourt of the Albert Works was sold to Sheffield Corporation in 1912 in order to widen Penistone Road, the proceeds going to erecting a new grinding shop and in 1914 to building a river wall. In the midst of the First World War, the house adjoining the works, subsequently used as a caretaker's house and warehouse, was bought. A works canteen was built too. The company also purchased land at the comer of Penistone Road and Hobson Avenue adjoining the works, which would later be used as a garage.
The 1960s was to be a decade characterised by even more building works: a new workshop being built at the river end of Anlaby Street when the old steel warehouse was demolished.

Probably one of the best photos to come out of Stoke-on-Trent. Sadly not taken by me because I was at work. This was taken yesterday:
(lulz, I just found out the guy who took it joined flickr because of me. One day my phone stopped working and he was the tech who came out to fix it. He saw my cameras lying around and we started chatting about photography and I told him to check out flickr and the stoke group and put his stuff up there.)

Part of the Lock 38 redevelopment on the site of the old Cliff Vale Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent. The insidious creep of canal-side shared equity apartments into the city, all in the name of regeneration.

Desmond Tutu is not hugging someone from Corrie.
Priorities, girl, priorities! tsk.

But he is wearing a rather fetching green tracksuit and looking a bit like someone's granddad watching his grandkids playing footie
