Former Methodist Chapel and Littlewood Memorial Hall, Scotland Street, Sheffield
The chapel, dated 1828, has a broad five-bay front topped by a rather bald pediment without any mouldings. All round-headed windows with unusual (later) glazing bars, a motif carried through to the adjacent hall of 1897 by Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton. Grade II listed.
Now flats I think.

Sheffield industry
Snow Lane viewed from Scotland Street. There still appears to be quite a lot of small metalworking shops in this particular area. The ridge above Neepsend makes the background.

An amibitious and attractive neo-Georgian pub, once selling Ward's Fine Malt Ales.
Next door, also derelict but with its windows broken rather than boarded up, is the former premises of Robert Neill & Co, manufacturers of electrical equipment and still going elsewhere in the city.
Both are advertised for sale.

Furnace Hill in August 2007
New housing under construction on Furnace Hill. This site had been occupied by light industry before this development. The road takes its name from a furnace constructed in 1763 by a group of Sheffield industrialists, including Joseph Bower, who became Master Cutler in 1765. He is listed in the 1775 Sheffield directory as having a workshop on Hollis Croft. According to records held by the Company of Cutlers during his tenure as Master Cutler a search was made in the Rotherham area for a new source of stone, suitable for the manufacture of grinding wheels. He also ordered the purchase of punch ladles for use by the Company of Cutlers.

Works, Snow Lane, Sheffield
C19th cutlery works which in the 1890s incorporated six back-to-back houses of c1800, "almost unique survivals of what was the most common form of the Sheffield working man's house in the early C19th". Most have been altered, the most intact is the one with the bags of rubbish outside - small irregular bricks and sill-less casement windows are distinguishing features. Grade II listed.
At various times the works of the Sheffield Metal Company and toolmakers Kutrite Group, but now an arts complex run by Creative Arts Development Space.
