I've found out the following info;

"SAMUEL BORWICK The records of the Company of Cutlers show that the Borwicks had been active in the cutlery trade since at least the 1730s.

John Borwick was listed in 1774 as a table knife cutler in Petticoat Lane (Milk Street), using the trade mark BARICK. In 1795, a cutlery partnership was dissolved between John Borwick & Joseph Broomhead.  Borwicks were living and working in Bailey Lane (a thorough-fare off Broad Lane). Between 1822 and 1825, Roger Borwick was a lancet & fleam manufacture in Bailey Lane, though his name had disappeared from directories by 1828. However, Samuel Borwick (probably a son, who was baptised on 20 Dec 1795) was making the same products in Spring Street after 1825. Samuel Borwick claimed 11 8s 6d in damages after the Sheffield Flood in 1865. Samuel remained working at Spring Street until 1868, but apparently died in that year, aged 72. By 1871, Charles & Henry Borwick had established themselves as fleam manufacturers in Radford Street".
