George Bower Bingley (1835-1908) was Rotherham-born to William and his wife, Mary.  He was apprenticed to William Broadhurst.  Samuel Worrall was the son of John (a working silversmith) and his wife, Ann.  He was apprenticed to Messrs Creswick to learn the silver plate trade.  He became a silversmith and also worked as a music dealer in West Street.  They launched Bingley, Worrall & Co, silversmith, in about 1881 at Imperial Works, Holly Street.  An advertisement in a Sheffield directory (1883) showed that its business was with hotels, ships, and messes.  The partners stated that they had spent 26 and 18 years, respectively, with Mappin Bros in Sheffield and London.  In 1886, Bingley, Worrall & Co ceased trading and the rented premises in Holly Street (workshop, warehouse, showroom, counting house, and cellar) were offered for sale (Sheffield Independent, 17 April 1886).  Both men died in the same year.  George B. Bingley died ‘very suddenly’ on 11 February 1908 at Meersbrook Park Road.  He was buried at Rotherham Cemetery, leaving £195.  Samuel Worrall died at his residence in Havelock Square on 16 March 1908.  His burial was in the General Cemetery.
