The Normans created several of these small manors which were reliant on Sheffield Castle and included ones at the nearby hamlets of Wadsley and Shirecliffe.

It then passed to the Burgoyne family who held the title and land until 1926 when all manors ceased to exist as a result of a Property Act.

The redevelopment in the late 1980s and 90s resulted in the area getting a KFC, Pizza Hut, B&Q, and two large franchised car dealers (Citroën and Peugeot).

[12] The longest established and best known firm in Owlerton is the George Bassett & Co. Ltd sweet factory, made world-famous by the manufacture of Liquorice Allsorts.

The firm was established in Sheffield in 1842, but did not come to Owlerton until 1934 when Bassett's son in law Samuel Meggit Johnson built a large factory on Beulah Road (SK337902).

The factory was enlarged in the inter-war period as new products such as Jelly Babies, Wine Gums and Liquorice Novelties were added to the range.

Morton and Miss D. Fairweather founded the business in August 1932 and moved firstly to Bradfield Road and then after the war to a purpose built facility in Owlerton Green.

In 2000, the firm invested heavily and expanded the works to increase despatch, sterile storage, laboratories and production facilities.

[15] Other prominent firms in Owlerton include Symmetry Medical on Beulah Road, a leading provider of implants, instruments and cases to orthopaedic device manufacturers.

[16] The Sheffield Assay Office is situated in the area; it moved to a purpose-built single-storey building on Beulah Road in July 2008.

This was after an upswing in business as the organisation moved into advanced analytical services in addition to its traditional assay and hallmarking work.
