Brooklyn Works
The Brooklyn Works is a former site of steel, saw and file manufacture, it is situated on Green Lane in the Kelham Island Quarter〔( Sheffield City Council website. ) Shows map of Kelham Island Quarter.〕 of the City of Sheffield, England. In recent years the works have been converted into residential apartments and offices. The structure is a Grade II listed building because of its importance as an example of Sheffield’s industrial heritage. The works stand adjacent to the listed industrial buildings of the Green Lane Works and Cornish Place in what has been called, ''“the most coherent stretch of industrial landscape in inner Sheffield”''〔''Pevsner Architectural Guides - Sheffield'', Ruth Harman & John Minnis, ISBN 0-300-10585-1, Pages 170 Gives details of architecture and Pevsner quote.〕
==History==
The Brooklyn Works were constructed in the mid 19th century for the firm of Alfred Beckett, a manufacturer of steel, saws and files. The building suffered seriously damaged in March 1864 when the Great Sheffield Flood surged down the Don valley. Alfred Beckett put in a compensation claim of £123 11s 2d for damage to the works,〔( Sheffield Flood claims archive. ) Gives details of architecture and some history.〕 with local journalist Samuel Harrison writing at the time:
Alfred Beckett & Sons Ltd continued to manufacture at the Brooklyn Works until the mid-1960s using the “Matchless” trademark,〔( www.backsaw.net. ) Gives details of “Matchless“ trademark.〕 during this time there were several structural additions to the works. In 1967 Alfred Beckett & Sons was purchased by the Tempered Spring Company Ltd of Sheffield.〔( www.onlinebusinesspages.co.uk. ) Gives history.〕 The building stood empty for a period of time and was declared a listed building in November 1985 to protect it from demolition. In the 1990s the Sheffield based firm of AXIS Architecture turned the disused works into residential apartments and offices for small businesses. Among the small businesses now using the Brooklyn Works are a public relations agency, a firm of solicitors and a web design company.
