Globe Works, Penistone Road, Sheffield, 1825.
For Ibbotson & Roebank, edge tool manufacturers.
Grade ll* listed.
Large purpose-built cutlery and edge tool works are very distinctive to the industrial identity of Sheffield, which during the C19 became known throughout the world as a centre of excellence in the manufacturing and processing of steel. Against the loss of many such buildings in the late C20 due to the severe decline of the industry, Globe Works is a highly significant survivor at the vanguard of such integrated urban works. It demonstrates the layout and building types of such a complex, including rare examples of specific workshop types as well as the more generic cutlers' workshop.
Approximately eight sites in Sheffield survive retaining evidence of individual hand forges or grinding hulls (rooms), or both. Globe Works has four hand forges, and the only known remaining example of urban back-to-back grinding hulls.

Globe Works
Penistone Road
Sheffield
Yorkshire
S6 3AE
Possibly the world's first purpose-built cutlery factory, c1818. Ad hoc workshop buildings and a courtyard stand behind a Classical facade. Partial damage was caused by industrial unrest in the 1840s. It became a general factory/warehouse until an arson attack in the 1970s when it was left derelict.
The aim was to retain as much original fabric as possible after fire damage and dereliction. The stone facades were repaired, timber windows restored and rebuilt off site. Top floor of workshops restored to original design. It was the first significant project in the Kelham Island Conservation area. A high quality conservation project.
