Howard & Hawkesworth
Howard & Hawkesworth, Sheffield silver manufactory.
There appears to be little mentioned of this partnership however John Howard is recorded in the Sheffield Silver Directory of 1822 as working at 12 Crook Croft as a table knife manufacturer. He was also in the partnership of Howard, Battie & Hawksworth working at Charles St as a silver or silver plate manufacturer.
Charles Hawksworth is well known for his partnership with John Eyre. Founded in 1833, the partnership was dissolved in 1869 and the business was continued by James Kebberling Bembridge, Thomas Hall and George Woofhouse. In the 1870s the firm became a limited liability company Hawksworth, Eyre & Co Ltd. The firm went into liquidation in the 1930’s.
