Woollen Signs Ltd. Sheffield. October 2012

[ROYALBOB]

Sheffield's latest tour stop, Woollen & Co Ltd t/a Woollen Signs 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 just on the outskirts of the city.

A bit dissapointing this place, but we only saw half of it, there's only one room that's any good on this part, the other side of the site looks tasty, but not doable on a busy Wednesday afternoon.
Visited with yorkietommo, we could not find a single sign anywhere made out of wool, so on exit proceeded to the nearest Trading Standards office to report the false advertising.
