Visited here recently as part of a day out in Sheffield. I've been numerous times before in the past, and its a shame to see how it has changed for the worse. Still an excellent example of victorian industrial premises though!

George Barnsley and Sons Ltd was founded in 1836 and specialised in forge filing and cutting tools for leather workers and shoe makers. George Barnsley and Son is listed in the 1837 Sheffield directory as a file manufacture situated on Wheeldon Street, The 1849 listing records a move to Cornhill and then in 1852 to Cornish works Cornish street. The factory closed around 2004.
