Gillott & Buttery was established after the First World War by Joseph Gillott (1851-1939) and Sydney Charles Buttery. The firm first appeared in a Sheffield directory in 1922 as a steel manufacturer at 12 Mowbray Street. Little is known about Buttery. But Joseph Gillott had been born in Sheffield, the son of a Richard (a file grinder) and his wife, Harriet. Joseph was apprenticed to a steel merchant, but later left Sheffield. In 1911, he was living in London, with his wife Jessie and son, Joseph Hayton Samuel (1907-2001)....
