30 Mowbray Street, Sheffield
This rare survival of a mid-C19th back-to-back makes for rather a pathetic sight. Grade II listed.
Most of its contemporaries were cleared in the 1930s.

The River Don Engine
A huge engine, driven by high pressure steam, built by Davy Brothers Ltd in 1905 and used to power rolling mills for making steel sheet for battleships, nuclear power stations and oil rigs. It was in use for 75 years, and was reinstalled at the Kelham Island Museum in 1983, after being saved by Hugh Wentworth Ping, who worked for Firth Vickers and then British Steel and was responsible for raising the scrap value of £20000. It weighs 426 tonnes, produces 12000 BHP, can change direction in 2 seconds, and makes lot of noise when running.
