A typical small engineering firm on the River Loxley from which it would have originally drawn its power. The current owners have been on this site for nearly 100 years and are still producing hand-crafted sharp implements - sheep shearing equipment and garden tools. In this respect they are likely to be one of the most 'typically Sheffield' firms still operating.
