Forster’s was listed by the 1930s at Armada Works, Wellington Street, as electro, chromium, nickel and metal platers and polishers.   The partners were Charles Andrew Forster (1897-1966) and his wife, Grace Forster, née Burrows (1903-1978).   Charles was the son of Henry A. Forster, a razor forger, and his wife, Harriet.  He was a razor blade striker during the First World War.  In 1951, Forster’s advertised in International Cutler as ‘electro-platers to the trade’, with scissors and surgical instruments as a speciality.  But an advertisement in that year also offered motor car parts as a speciality.  The firm became a private limited company in 1958, with £1,000 capital.  Charles A. Forster, of High Storrs Road, died on 30 December 1965, leaving £4,818.   His sons were Charles Anthony (1937-1975) and Stuart Maxwell (1930-2002).  The firm was liquidated in 1984.
