Notes:
Deals with the first entry of steelmakers and toolmakers into the Cutlers' Company, when first permitted in 19th century, and their eclipse of the cutlers; the promotion by steelmen, both personally and through the Company, of the 'industrial and social wellbeing' of Sheffield. Statistical approach. Sections are: 'Decline [of the Company] in the early nineteenth century'; 'Steelmen by the back door'; 'Grandeur within' - ie development of an opulent interior; 'After the wars, 1920-1960'; 'Steelmen as benefactors'
