vox Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What a great place. Not so long since there were numerous places like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unitedite Returns Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Brilliant images, thank you. I did not even know it even existed. Although, as you have now shared this little treasure with a wider, and for the most part, appreciative audience, I bet Sheffield University and Sheffield City Council have already got it in mind to replace it with another cube. After all, you cannot have too many cubes in Sheffield, can you? Incidentally, did you notice any manufacturer's castings on the range, as it could be of local origin, i.e., Sheffield, or Rotherham, etc.?

There was very little light in the room apart from the open door, inside was illuminated by the flash from my camera, I don't see a makers badge. Personally, I don't think I should have been in the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unitedite Returns Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks Steve, I won't be asking you to go back and look then. That said, it is something worth watching out for if you do see any other like ranges, as a lot were cast in Rotherham, which did have something of a reputation for such pieces, but there were iron works in Sheffield, and Birmingham, as well as a few other places that cast these. Although, I would have thought that what was made locally, was generally sold locally, as they are hefty items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1918 they were acquired by Sheffield Steel Products (the Templeborough connection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
