Tower Works

Tower Works was founded by T.R. Harding in 1864 to make steel pins for carding and combing in the textile industry. In addition to these items the company also developed a range of innovative and advanced industrial instruments, including speed indicators, counters, and gauges. The original buildings, designed by Thomas Shaw, were erected in 1864-6, with the design being heavily influenced by his love for Italian architecture and art. The buildings are listed Grade II and have been converted to apartments.

Such imposing industrial, Victorian frontages. Something so proud about them. My favourite example in Sheffield is PERSISTENCE WORKS.
