The firm of Charles E Steel, glass merchant, was founded by Charles Edward Steel (1857-1910) of Leeds. Charles was working as a glass merchant’s clerk by 1881. It is not clear when exactly he established his own business but ‘Charles E Steel, glass merchant’ was listed in the Leeds Trades Directory in 1902.
Charles Steel died in Leeds in 1910 and the business was continued by his sons Joseph Edward and John Robert Steel. By 1917 the business had relocated to 41 York Place, Leeds. They were producing work until at least 1937.
