An example of the courtyard workshops once prevalent in Sheffield. Leah's Yard lies behind the central gates. Partly built for coachbuilders, partly for Henry Leah who manufactured die stamps for silverware (and whose sign is still visible), and later used by various cutlery- and tool-associated trades. Dated c1878. Grade II* listed. Pevsner says it has been disused for over fifteen years, and it shows.
