Thomas Flamwell was in business in a small way on Canal Road from 1868, moving to Church Walk in about 1880. He installed stream power at his works, and as well as making and maintaining agricultural machinery and implements, he repaired steam boilers and engines, including locomotives, traction engines, threshing machines and mowers, but despite all this his workforce in 1881 was just 4 men and 2 boys. Born in Buckinghamshire, he came to Worksop in 1868, he was also a lay preacher at the Primitive Methodist Church, choir-master and sunday school superintendent at John Street Zion Chapel, and one time president of the Free Church Council. He died in 1908.
