Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs to undertake the final reporting for historic building recording at The Caledonia Works, 41 Mowbray Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SK 35266 88261. The Caledonia Works is located within the Neepsend area of Sheffield, on the northern bank of the River Don. It is bounded by Mowbray Street to the northeast, the former Eagle Works to the northwest, and the former Times Steel Works (now Brewery Wharf) to the southeast. The Works comprised four ranges, set around a central courtyard, which had formerly made up an iron foundry complex dating to the 19th century. The Site does not include any designated features such as Scheduled Ancient Monuments or Listed Buildings however, the Site is located within the Kelham Island Conservation Area. A Level 2 survey was carried out at the Site which identified multiple phases of building and alteration following its initial construction in the mid- to late 19th century. It would appear that since the Site's industrial expansion in the 19th century, the complex had remained largely unaltered in layout until the mid-20th century, when occupied by William Turner and Son Ltd. The Site's layout and architectural style was typical of a 19th-century industrial works within Sheffield: four ranges set around a central courtyard with offices located within the principal range, whilst the loud, heavy industrial work was carried out within the ranges to the rear of the site. |
