A well-preserved small mid-C19 works used for the manufacture of files and cutlery; a significant and now rare survival of its type, incorporating domestic, warehouse and workshop components on a single site. It acts as an important indicator of an earlier historic urban landscape, dominated by works premises and mass industrial housing, characteristic of a highly-skilled industrial community of international significance in C19 and early C20.
