Well Meadow Street Crucible Furnace, Industrial furnace building in St Vincent's Quarter, Sheffield, England.

The three-story brick structure features a crucible furnace with six holes, reinforced walls with iron straps, and a vaulted brick cellar.

Built in 1860, the Well Meadow Street Crucible Furnace operated as a steel and file manufacturing facility until production ceased in 1926.

The Grade II* listed building represents Sheffield's metalworking heritage as a small-scale integrated steel and cutlery manufacturing site from Victorian times.

The building contains an owner's house on the right side and workshops on the left, with additional three-story workshops in the rear courtyard.

The furnace walls incorporate vertical iron straps specifically designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during steel production processes.
