At the start of the twentieth century, William Albert Cyril Goff (1893-1958) was an engineer tool grinder, living at Meersbrook with his parents: Thomas Goff (also a tool grinder) and Laura Louisa Goff.  By 1939, William was a steel annealer at a rolling mill.  After the War, he launched William Goff & Son as a cutlery manufacturer at 19-21 Carver Street, with his son, Thomas Henry Goff (1917-2001).  William next partnered Isaac S. Dearden in Goff & Dearden, which was a cutlery manufacturer in Monmouth Lane.   In 1951, it was dissolved.  William died on 6 September 1958, leaving £409 to his widow, Lily.   Meanwhile, by 1948 Thomas Henry had established his own company at 166 Charles Street.   T. H. Goff & Co marketed table cutlery, canteens, and spoons and forks, using the mark ‘HOMELAND’ (once owned by Walker & Co,).   By the 1960s, Goff’s location was Moore Street, but it was not in business by 1969.
