This firm was established in 1919 by Clement Foreman Carr, who had been a partner in Carr, Wild & Co.  Clement was the son of George Carr, a chemist and dentist, and his wife, Mary.  He was apprenticed into the cutlery and silver plate trade.  Foreman Cutlery Co was at Foreman Works, Jessop Street, where Carr was partnered by Charles Joseph Hobson (1890-1939).  The output was mainly table cutlery and pocket knives.  A xylonite fire at the works at Jessop Street highlighted that two workshops were occupied by female staff – nine girls in one room, six or seven in another (Sheffield Evening Telegraph, 8 October 1919).  In the following year, about fifty men and women spring knife workers were on strike at the factory, because the firm had apparently not complied with a recent pay award in the cutlery industry (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 14 April 1920).  Later that year, C. Foreman Carr announced in the local press that he was the senior partner in Foreman Cutlery Co, Foreman Works, Jessop Street.  And that the partners were not associated with any other business undertaking (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 11 September 1920).

In 1922, the firm exhibited at the British Industries Fair a traditional range of pen and pocket knives and stainless table cutlery.   In the following year, C. Foreman Carr announced that he was letting Foreman Works and its equipment: gas furnace, electric motors, benches, drills, grinding wheel, and troughs (Sheffield Daily Independ-ent, 6 June 1923).  By 1929, Foreman Cutlery Co was based in Furnival Street.  In that year, Carr divorced his wife, Marjorie Ann, for adultery.  Foreman Cutlery had ceased trading by 1930.  Carr’s later career is unclear, though in 1939 he was living at Sterndale Road and was enumerated in the Register of England & Wales as a director of limited companies (steel  and cutlery).  Clement Foreman Carr, of Dalmore Avenue, died on 17 July 1948 at The Royal Infirmary, Sheffield, leaving £4,577 to his widow, Nellie.  He was cremated at City Road.
