Thank you Elaine, there aren't many pictures which is a shame but I have found some others of interest do thank you very much for the prompt.

Hi Andrea - my grandfather was John Charles Copley and lived in Burngreave in the 1920s but then moved to Bradford. That's all I know at the moment. Trying to find out more as I have just moved back to Yorkshire in the last 5 years and work in Sheffield.

I am not sure how to send a private email.
I am a relative and have some information on Copley's and some photos.

I see Copley knives for sale some times.

Hi
I’m a descendant of Charles Copley and his son Henry John Copley. I have just found some information about the factory. If you would like it please do email me. Carole.cairns1@sky.com
I found some table knives with their mark on them a few years ago which I bought for my father. I couldn’t afford one of the spring knives.
How are you related to them.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Carole

Hi Andrea
I’m descended from John Copley through his son Charles. Please feel free to email me. I’m currently looking at the Copley’s and have lots of info on the family. Only a small amount about the factory.
Kind regards Carole

Elizabeth Hartley who married John Waterfall is an ancestor of mine.
