A HISTORIC cutlery works in Sheffield which has been the focus of a major restoration project is being visited by the head of English Heritage next week.
The Grade II* listed Joel’s Yard, on Well Meadow Street, is set to be paid a visit by Baroness Andrews next Thursday after English Heritage donated £200,000 towards repairs at the site.
Joel’s Yard, once classed as a ‘building at risk’, has been taken over by a private developer and transformed into flats.
Repairs included reinstating a cobbled courtyard so the workshops are closer to their original state.
Another restoration project is also starting next door at North Yard, also a former cutlery factory which includes a crucible shop, forge and cutler’s smithy.
English Heritage has offered a grant of £300,000 towards the refurbishment which will see the creation of nine new homes.
