Cornish Place is a Listed building situated in the Neepsend area of the City of Sheffield. The building was formerly the factory of James Dixon & Sons, a Britannia metal, Sheffield plate and Cutlery manufacturer. In the late 1990s the disused building was cleaned and converted into apartments, it is regarded as the most impressive cutlery works that still stands in Sheffield〔''"A History of Sheffield"'', David Hey, ISBN 1-85936-110-2, Pages 208-209 Gives detailed history.〕 and rivals the cotton mills of Lancashire and the West Riding in terms of architectural quality and heritage.〔''Pevsner Architectural Guides - Sheffield'', Ruth Harman & John Minnis, ISBN 0-300-10585-1, Pages 170-171 Gives details of present day, architecture and some history.〕 The most impressive parts of the building are the east and west ranges which have Grade II * listed status while the rest of the works have the lower Grade II rating. The “Cornish” in the buildings name is thought to derive from the manufacture of Britannia metal which is made up of 93% tin which came from Cornwall. ==History==
