The earliest recorded cutlers wheel on the Sheaf was recorded in 1496 and by tracing its ownership until the first named 'Moscar Wheel' was recorded in the later 16th century, Crossley and his team (1989, 102) were able to assert that this was the site. Throughout its recorded history Moscar seems to have been engaged in scythe and cutlery grinding. The works is thought to have been abandoned around 1891-2. A number of features of this complex survive in order to lend at lest fragmentary legibility including weir, dam retaining wall with outflow, a row of three cottages and the steep stone walled access track leading down to the site from Holt House (site of) and Abbeydale Road. The dam is no longer traceable having been overbuilt by a petrol filling station and warehousing.
