Mostly mid C19th. Long and stepping up from one to four storeys. The single-storey wings now front nothing. At some point the premises of Ibbotson and Co, manufacturers of steel, saws, files, springs, bolts and nuts (thanks to Sheffield City Council). One internet source suggests it closed as early as the 1970s? The far chimney belongs to the Cornish Place Works.
