represent Sheffield’s industrial past.
The most recent objects deposited with the museum include photographic images from:
The Hardy Patent Pick Company, Little London Road, Sheffield,
Examples of Machinery produced by Davy United of machinery used at the Park Iron Works, Sheffield,
Images from Sheffield Forge Rolling Mill, Green Lane Works.
These images show the diversity of Sheffield works, processes, engineering skills and the people
