Reuben Hallam (1818-1908), also known as Wadsley Jack, was a carver, cutler, musician and author, from the Wadsley district of Sheffield, England, who wrote in the Sheffield dialect. He is best known for the autobiographical work Wadsley Jack; or, the Humours and Adventures of a Travelling Cutler.

Wadsley Jack..., and its sequel Wadsley Jack's Married Life, were each serialised in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph in 1865 and 1866 respectively, prior to publication in book form.[1]

In various decennial censuses, Hallam is listed as:

  • 1851 a teacher of singing
  • 1861 a spring knife cutler
  • 1871 a spring knife cutler
  • 1881 an artist (as are three of his children)
  • 1891 a weighman
  • 1901 a spring knife cutler

He also worked as an organist, orator and singer.[1]

His portrait,[2] in oil on canvas, by W. Lindley, is in the collection of Museums Sheffield.[3] Another portrait of Hallam, by Willis Eadon, was exhibited at the August 1888 Sheffield Society of Artists' exhibition.[4] The Sheffield Daily Telegraph's unnamed reviewer wrote that "it shows evidence of rather clever treatment in bringing out a strong individuality".[4] Reviewing the same exhibition, The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent referred to Hallam as "a local celebrity".[5]

A pub in Wadsley, The Wadsley Jack, formerly The Star, was renamed in his honour.[6]
