Does anyone recognise this staircase?

[Sheffield History]

Zoom in and have a look at this Sheffield staircase. Do you recognise it and know where it was/is?

[Schumac]

It's the Cutlers Hall staircase

[Unitedite Returns]

A fascinating building indeed. Contains a number of salvaged fixtures and fittings recovered from the Triple Screw Steamship Olympic, which was of course, the slightly older sister of the R.M.S. Titanic.

Thought it was the Cutlers Hall. Been to  Christmas do's there in the past. Have also been to a Titanic exhibition in Las Vegas where they had a mock up of the Grand staircase and it did look the same.

Not sure about the recovered materials from the Olympic...but the old HO of T W Ward on Savile Street certainly contained significant quantities of recovered materials from passenger ships Tommy Wards had broken.

Ive never been inside the Cutlers Hall. Is there any way of gaining access, or is it just invitees of private functions?

[lysander]

They welcome small parties ( for a fee) with a guided tour and light refreshments...or they did a few months ago. The cutlery collection is amazing!

When the White Star Liner, RMS Olympic was dismantled by Thos. W. Ward Ltd, in 1936, Joseph Ward expressed the wish that some of the panelling would be bought by the Company to provide 'a dignified appearance such as we have not got at present except in the large Banqueting Hall. C.E. Friend, managing director of Johnson and Appleyards, the firm which had refurbished the Mistress Cutler's Room, accompanied J.H. Whitham, the Company's secretary to Jarrow to inspect what was to be auctioned. They acquired the sycamore and mahogany panelling and electroliers (light fittings) from the Olympic's Second Class Library for £250.The panelling was then prepared in Johnson and Appleyards' workshops in Arundel Street before its fitting in the vestibules linking the reception rooms and the large banqueting hall.

Definitely worth asking about the book, an excellent publication, which still seems to be available at 1997 prices.
