Taylors Ceylon Works

Taylor's Ceylon Works is a cutlery works built around 1850 and again in 1875. The building is constructed of brick with glazed brick dressings and features slate roofs with two ridge stacks and a single gable stack. It has a plinth, sill bands, and an eaves cornice. The structure is three storeys high and has a layout in the shape of an L, with a total of 7 by 17 windows. The front facade showcases white glazed brick on the first and second floors, which contain seven glazing bar sash windows. Below these, there are a pair of doors topped with moulded round glazed brick heads and fanlights, flanked by three sash windows on the left and two on the right. The left gable features two segment-headed three-light glazing bar casements on each floor. Adjacent to the main building, fronting Egerton Lane, is a three-storey workshop block with a range of 17 windows. The first and second floors of this block have segment-headed two-light glazing bar casements, while the ground floor includes a blocked carriage opening to the left, a door, and a total of 14 windows (nine to the left and five to the right), all similar to those above. The rear elevation has 17 segment-headed two-light glazing bar casements on the second floor, with most of the lower floor covered by a two-storey lean-to addition. The name of the works likely refers to the market it was intended to serve, a common practice among Sheffield manufacturers. The interior has not been inspected.
