Taylor's Ceylon Works, Thomas Street, Sheffield
Formerly a horn-cutter's works (used for cutlery handles). The front building, dated c1875, was offices, with workshops behind. These are earlier, c1850, and largely windowless due "to the high value of horn". Grade II listed.
Not sure what, if anything, goes on here now, but whatever it is, it's no longer likely to involve turning ox, buffalo or stag horns into fork handles.

Eye-Witness Works, Milton Street, Sheffield
Perhaps the most architecturally impressive survivor of Sheffield's cutlery industry, externally at least not a million miles away from a Georgian terrace. The nearest five bays were built c1852, the top storey and eastward extension dates from c1875. As usual, workshops behind, where a chimney also survives (
Image]). Grade II* listed.
Possibly the last place in the city still manufacturing cutlery.
