Remains of a factory complex. Nineteenth century. Matilda Street, Sheffield. The row of large brick brackets visible in the right-hand photograph suggest the present structure had an extension whose roof or flor beams they carried. This building's asymmetry and interesting siting make it different from many of the earlier two- or three-story small works buildings in the area, most of which produced cutlery or plating.
