Location: Leicestershire and Derbyshire

Surnames/tags: Leicestershire Derbyshire
A list of people who are described as spar manufacturers on either the censuses or in directories, advertising and periodicals of the 19th to early 20th centuries in England, broken down by location. I also include people involved in the selling of these goods.
The purpose of this list is to establish the extent of spar working in the period concerned. I make no distinction between spar workers in alabaster from workers in bluejohn or marble, unless it is written in the source material.
For a description of spar manufacture, see Spar Ornament Manufacture in 19th Century England: A Lost Industry.
