Venture Works, 105 Arundel Street, Sheffield. 1791. According to Harman and Minnis, around 1840 the owners extended the building creating a courtyard containing a workshop, which, as they point out, exemplifies the conversion of homes to small factories that occurred during this period of Sheffield's history.
