Description
SHEFFIELD
SK39SE BRIGHTSIDE LANE 784-1/2/97 (South East side) 17/07/87 Roadside wall facing main range of Vickers Building, River Don Works
GV II
Wall of steelworks. Early C20 with late C20 works on far side. Built for Vickers, Son & Co. Brick, in English Garden Wall bond, with stone dressings. Tall single storey range, 8 bays, and to right a lower single storey range, 4 bays, which was originally longer. Plinth, pilasters and parapet, defining full-height recesses with rebated and cogged heads. The 8 bay range has a tall round-arched opening in each bay, all but the heads bricked up. The 4 bay range has tall multipane windows with segmental heads. Together with the Vickers Building opposite (qv), this wall illustrates a "canyon" development, where tall steelworks lined the streets. This was a characteristic form of development in Sheffield. Included for group value.
