Cornish Place, Grade II* listed building in Neepsend, Sheffield, England
The factory complex spans four acres along Ball Street and the River Don, featuring elegant ashlar and brick construction with arched windows.
James Dixon & Sons established their Britannia metal and Sheffield plate manufacturing facility at this location in 1819, expanding operations through the 1860s.
The building stands as a testament to Sheffield's industrial past, matching the architectural quality of Lancashire and West Riding cotton mills.
The structure now contains residential apartments following extensive renovations in 1998, preserving its historical features while offering modern living spaces.
The name Cornish Place references the tin from Cornwall used in manufacturing Britannia metal, which comprised 93 percent of the alloy produced here.
