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.

Fairly extensive courtyards and workshops behind. Grade II listed.

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.

Ghost sign, Lambert Street, Sheffield
It reads, "THE CELEBRATED GLEANER/THE GLEANER SUPER KEEN BLADE MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND", and there is a reference to a "SMOOTHER SHAVE". The rest is illegible to me.
Perhaps a product of John Watts,Image], on whose wall it has been daubed.
