Abstract: |
This project was an excavation undertaken by Archaeological Research and Consultancy at the University of Sheffield (ARCUS) of a purpose built nineteenth century steel and cutlery works, the “Suffolk Works”. At the time (2001-2002) this was a unique opportunity to investigate a type of industrial site that has rarely survived with so little sub-surface disturbance, supported by an unusual wealth of documentary and photographic evidence. Its investigation contributed towards the aims of a 2001 survey by English Heritage of Sheffield’s built industrial environment, which highlighted the importance of the study of standing building remains in the furtherance of understanding the operation and development of the metals trade in the area. The project was funded by Midland Mainline.
It is hoped that the publication and appendices will demonstrate the importance of integrating historical documentation, excavated structures and post-excavation artefactual research in informing understanding of manufacturing processes and associated products.
