Brothers. Brick with stone dressings and Welsh slate and
corrugated asbestos roofs.
Single storey. 3:2:6:6:4 windows. Round headed openings with
stone sills to mainly unglazed windows. 7 cross-ridge crucible
stacks, each probably with 6 flues, and on the rear wall to
Wilfrid Street, 2 smaller single stacks. Front elevation, to
yard, has wooden cross casements, some with barred heads. 6
doorways enlarged and given steel or concrete lintels. Rear
has similar blocked and boarded up windows.
INTERIORS have crucible furnaces on either side, with iron
brackets for crucible drying shelves and for tools. Strutted
king post roof trusses. The Darnall Works site was developed
initially in 1835. This range was added in 1872, increasing
the works' capacity by 84 holes. Darnall Works was one of a
number of large scale crucible steel works in Sheffield, but
it is the last to survive and is unique in Britain.
