The business was founded by Billy Clarke in 1918 in a tiny shop on Button lane in the centre of Sheffield.
Billy was a keen match angler and was a member of the Sheffield Amalgamated anglers society which, In 1934 went on to win the prestigious all England champions Daily mirror cup. Billy died in 1937 and his daughters took over the business to run it through the war years. His son Billy then took charge of the business in May 1946 when he returned from the army having served right through the second world war.
The shop was gradually built up from an empty shell by Billy, going from strength to strength and continuing to grow even though at the time there were over 200 shops selling tackle in Sheffield at that time! The shops popularity was helped by the fact that Billy was a very well respected match angler in the Sheffield area, being a member of the Sheffield Amalgamated team which won the English championships in 1953. He was also a long standing member of the Sheffield Piscatorials Society and the Waltonian angling club. Billy Died in 1983 at the age of 67.
