Abstract: |
Historic building recording was carried out at the Hawk Works, a late 19th- to early 20th-century engineering works at Mary Street, Sheffield. The works are being converted into flats. The report incorporates information from an earlier desk-based assessment and includes additional historical research. The conversion of the works commenced prior to a full historic buildings survey being undertaken and many details of the former fixtures and fittings were obscured. Photographs taken prior to the conversion were used to supplement the survey. The site was developed between 1866 and 1879, when it was occupied by file manufacturers. This premises was named the Cyprus Works in 1890, while the eastern part of the plot was occupied by the Hammer Works tool factory. By 2905 the western part of the site was named the Hawk Works, while the eastern block was the Guion Works tool factory, which subsequently expanded as the Union Works, a machine knife factory. The latter were demolished during the mid-20th century. The standing buildings have been modified and restructured throughout the 20th century and retain few features relating to the 19th-century works. |
