Popped in here for 3 or 4 hours. What an amazing place. Unfortunately called back a couple of weeks ago and the access had been removed!!
History of the place is well documented but briefly George Barnsley was a supplier of tools to the shoemaking/leather industry. Founded in 1836 and moving to the Cornish Works in 1852.George Barnsley became Master Cutler in 1883. Becoming a limited company in 1946. George died at home in Sheffield in 1958 at the age of 83.
Anyway, here's a few pics...........
