Talk: Victorian Cutlery from The Ken Hawley Collection

When Sheffield ruled the world or at least afternoon tea. An exploration of the wide range of cutlery and flatware produced in Sheffield and used by the Victorians to eat a wide range of foods. They were very fond of pickle, asparagus, sardines and sugar and the items l will showcase will reflect this. I also have a number of mystery items that no one in Sheffield knows what they are for .

I worked as a teacher and lecturer in Sheffield , becoming the advisor for Vocational Education in the Council . On retirement l started to volunteer at The Hawley Collection, based at Kelham Island, l have been successful with two lottery projects Name on a Knife blade and Sheffield Treasures . l love Sheffield and celebrating what it made and still makes .
