Stormy,
I know the Worfolk brothers owned and worked the yard and river bank, whether they employed others I have no knowledge. the yard and ropeworks was in use when I was a lad (1950's). I have a couple of photo's which I'll dig out for you.

I was born and raised in the Friars area and know something of the area's history.
 The Worfolk brothers built their boats at the top of Gladstone Road (now called Nar Walk) along with their rope works. The river Nar where they launched many craft was the old Whaling river with a tributary aptly named Blubber Creak.
