Wilfred Jackson and Thomas Walton launched this enterprise, which was listed in 1859 as Jackson & Walton, a manufacturer of Britannia metal and electro-plate goods in Scotland Street.   It advertised in the local directory (1860).  By the mid-1860s, the partnership had been dissolved.  By 1868, Jackson – then aged 31 – was trading alone in Hollis Croft.  A bland and uninformative account of the factory appeared in The Century’s Progress (1893).  The factory employed sixteen workers in 1881.  Wilfred Jackson, Beech Hill Road, was buried at All Saints graveyard, Ecclesall, on 20 April 1911 (his death does not appear to have been reported in the press).  The company then ceased trading.
