This area (piecemeal enclosures on the earliest mapping of the area) is show as divided into surveyed garden enclosures on the 1851 60 inch to the mile plan of Sheffield. By 1891 it had been developed , into a pattern characterised by small high density terraced housing tot the south of the site (south of the now built over Soho Street) and the small courtyard type Soho Cutlery Works to the north of Soho Street alongside the River Porter. By 1925 the residential units south of Soho Street were beginning to be demolished to make way for the rapidly growing 'Composite Steel Works'. By 1955 these works had absorbed all the land within the polygon with Soho Works and street now within the land of the works. The buildings were demolished by 1984. Redevelopment was initially slow. This site was redeveloped at the end of the 1990s / early 2000s as office buildings.
