Very important group of 19th century cutlery, edge tool works and foundry. The street pattern and urban form of this area developed from the late 18th century onwards. Its historic character has to a large extent been stabilised by its regeneration from the mid 1990s onwards in the form of residential conversions and recolonisation by commercial concerns. The area is an example of heritage led regeneration. This area (called Long Croft on the 1771 Fairbank's map of the area) was developed from fields towards the end of the 18th century. The earliest of these works is Green Lane Works (built in 1795 as the foundry of Henry Hoole who made stove grates) The classical façade of the works with its triumphal arch was built in 1860 to celebrate Hoole's time as Mayor of Sheffield (Bayliss, 1995 p 22). The works remains in industrial use as the headquarters of Miba Tyzack manufacturers of steel components. Green Lane Works is first depicted on the 1808 Fairbank plan 'A Map of the Town and Environs of Sheffield'. The Penistone Road 'Globe Works' is the next oldest surviving complex within this polygon, dating back to 1825 when it was built as a large courtyard complex including the still extant classical front range (owners house, offices and warehouses), three workshop ranges around the courtyard, grinding hulls and engine house. Demolished buildings include hand forges, chimney, boilers, and cementation and crucible furnaces (Wray 1998). Bayliss (1995) describes the business of its owners Ibbotson and Roebuck as "steel refiners, edge tools, scythes, saws, fenders and knives". Ibbotson is somewhat notorious for the observation of Frederick Engels; "Mr. Ibbetson (sic) had made himself obnoxious...by low wages, the exclusive employment of knob sticks (strike breakers) and the exploitation of the Poor Law for his own benefits. He had reported...such operatives who refused to accept reduced wages as persons who could find work but would not take it, and were, therefore not deserving of relief, so compelling the acceptance of a reduction. Considerable damage was inflicted by the explosion, and all the working-men who came to view it regretted only ‘that the whole concern was not blown in the air" (Condition of the English Working Class 1899 quoted in SCC 2000). Cornish Place (converted to residential use in the late 1990s) was begun in 1822 and was built as a cutlery and silver plating factory employing up to 800 people (Bayliss 1995). The complex eventually covered 4 acres and fell derelict in the early 1990s, before its conversion, Cornish Works have been occupied by tool makers George Barnsley and Sons since 1850. The 1851 1:1056 survey shows four cementation furnaces on this site and other buildings around a courtyard. Wray (1998) suggests that this complex may have formerly served as a part of the Globe Works. Brooklyn Works to the east of Ball Street features an elaborate riverside gable end emblazoned "Alfred Becket and Sons Ltd. Steel, Saw and File Works." The complex (first depicted in 1891) replaced early 19th century back to back housing. Wharncliffe Works is a brick-built late 19th century stove grate works. No legibility of pre urban landscape.
