The Workmen's Cottages at Abbeydale were built between 1786 and 1793, and housed the forgemaster and his heater lad, who together operated the Tilt Forge. One of the cottages has been furnished to show living conditions in 1840. Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust: http://www.simt.co.uk/abbeydale-industrial-hamlet/about
