"One of the city's finest remaining integrated cutlery, edge tool and file-making works and powerfully evocative of the working conditions once prevalent in the cutlery industry", wrote Pevsner. The tall block dates from the 1850s, but there is an older block behind of 1819-20. It presents quite a contrast with its mostly small-scale cottage-industry-style neighbours. Courtyard and chimney survive behind (Image]). Grade II* listed. Now a mix of retail and residential.
