Thomas Flinn was born in Sheffield
At about the age of 14 Thomas began a saw-making apprenticeship; another apprentice he met was Frank Ellis.
As one of 10 children, living in back to back housing it was common place to take such a work placement and aim to get your own house further down the same street as many of his siblings did. It seems this was, perhaps an inevitable piece of history.
1923 He set up his own saw-making business which became Thomas Flinn and Co.
1936 Sold the business to Frank Ellis.
