This scissors maker may have partnered John Dungworth as Hunt & Dungworth, Pond Hill.  The enterprise was active by 1816 and dissolved in 1819.  Hunt was listed in 1822 as a fine scissors and razor manufacturer in Coulston Croft, off Westbar.  By 1828, he had moved to nearby Love Street.  His advertisement in the directory for that year had a striking engraving of the factory – one of the first factory views from that era.  Hunt remained a cutler in the Love Street and Scotland Street area into the early 1830s, when he was also a victualler at Union Inn.  In 1834, he became insolvent.  By 1837, Hunt had moved to Fargate, where he was a scissors and cutlery manufacturer in Pinstone Street and a victualler first at the Old Green Dragon and then at the Angel & Crown.  In 1838, he left Sheffield for London, where he became the publican at the Manchester Arms, Portman Square.  He became bankrupt again.  Thomas Hunt, of the Union Tavern, Union Street, London, died on 17 April 1843.
