Beehive Works
The Beehive Works are a purpose built cutlery works located on Milton Street in the Devonshire Quarter area of Sheffield city centre. The works were built in stages in the second half of the 19th century and are designated as a Grade II
* listed building with English Heritage stating that they are of special architectural and historic interest as an examples of buildings associated with Sheffield's metal manufacturing and metal working trades.〔( British Listed Buildings. ) Gives details of history and architecture and quote from English heritage.〕 The works stand adjacent to the Taylor's Eye Witness Works and together they make Milton Street one of the best places to gain an impression of Sheffield’s former cutlery industry.
==History==
It is thought that the first phase of building took place in the late 1850s or the early 1860s, the buildings were initially known as the Milton Works with B. Mathewman and Sons being the first known occupants. The Works expanded quickly during the 1880s and 1890s with the addition of more grinding wheels and forges, the steam power plant was also enlarged to drive this extra machinery. By 1888 the Atkinson Brothers had taken over the works as manufacturers of steel, cutlery, files and electro plate products. The Atkinsons had considerable success as a company using the trade mark “In Mind”.〔( www.silvercollection.it. ) Gives details of Atkinson Brothers trade mark.〕 They exhibited at the 1894 Antwerp World's fair, becoming a registered company on the stock exchange in 1897.〔( Graces Guide. ) Gives details of Atkinson Brothers.〕
Atkinson Brothers were resident at the Beehive Works well into the 20th century. Later the works were taken over by the cutlery manufacturers Gregory Fenton Ltd, a company established in 1968 by the amalgamation of the Gregory Brothers and Joseph Fenton firms. Gregory Fenton Ltd are still resident at the Beehive Works although in a much reduced capacity, their name is still displayed extensively on the frontage of the building (see photograph). Today the works have been divided up into small offices, workshops and storage areas which are rented out. Among the businesses using the Beehive Works at present (in addition to Gregory Fenton Ltd) are: Exposed Magazine (an entertainment and listings guide for Sheffield), Hardy Transactions Ltd (corporate finance advisors), the Brunch Box (take away food outlet) and P. Hobson Ltd (metal finishing services).〔( British Listed Buildings. ) Gives details of history and architecture.〕〔( www.sheffield.org. ) Gives details of present day businesses at Beehive Works.〕
