Description
These workshops and offices, dating to circa 1860 and circa 1890, were built for cutlery and silverware production, along with associated offices. They are located to the rear of numbers 216 and 218 on Solly Street, Sheffield.
The buildings are primarily brick, with rendered to the left return, ashlar dressings, and slate roofs punctuated by six gable and four side wall stacks. The front office block features a four-window range and a two-window range, with a plinth and sill bands to each floor. Painted openings have multi-keystone lintels, along with three 12-pane sashes and a larger tripartite sash to the front. Above, four 9-pane sashes are present, with one being blank. A segment-arched cart opening is offset to the left, featuring a brick arch, stone cornice, and the inscription "James Lodge Ltd." A doorway has an eared architrave and cornice, with a moulded four-panel door and overlight. The rear of the office block contains four 12-pane sashes and six 20th-century windows above.
The workshop block to the left of the courtyard, constructed in the mid-19th century, is three storeys with a three-window range. It showcases three 3-light glazing bar casements with slightly segmental heads on the first floor, and three matching casements with flat heads above. The ground floor has two similar casements with altered glazing and, to the right, a casement containing a double board door. A late 19th-century block at the rear of the courtyard stretches over seven windows with a central door flanked by single windows, and two more windows to the left. Above, seven windows are arranged in a 2:3:2 pattern, all with 2-light glazing bar casements, with the three to the left having been reglazed. The ground floor features a central double board door and two large segment-headed glazing bar casements, sheltered by a flat canopy. An adjoining single-storey office building is linked to the main block by a flat-roofed addition. A mid-19th century block has a brick ground floor and a concrete first floor, with four wooden glazing bar casements and a double board door flanked by a casement and a door with overlight. Adjoining this is a mid-19th century two-window range block, featuring a single plain sash and a larger 12-pane sash; the ground floor has a small door.
Internally, the rear workshop range features a central stone staircase and wooden floors supported by cast-iron columns.
