Brooklyn Works

The Brooklyn Works is a former site of steel, saw and file manufacture, it is situated on Green Lane in the Kelham Island Quarter[1] of the City of Sheffield, England.

The building suffered seriously damaged in March 1864 when the Great Sheffield Flood surged down the Don valley.

The boundary wall was carried away, and a large steam engine boiler was torn from its bed, and washed down some hundreds of yards into the works of Messrs. Wheatman and Smith.

In the 1990s the Sheffield-based firm of AXIS Architecture turned the disused works into residential apartments and offices for small businesses.

Among the small businesses now using the Brooklyn Works are a public relations agency, a firm of solicitors and a web design company.
