Road access to this building is from Effingham Road; but it obviously used to have access by water too. It is grade 2 listed (List Entry Number 1270724). From the list description, it was originally built for the Firth family, steel makers, and used for the storage of bar iron from Sweden before it was processed in the cementation and crucible works. It is said to be the sole survivor of this type of warehouse in Sheffield.
