Report - Rutland Cutlery Co, Sheffield (March 2018)

[Evitrii]

Or rather, the place which used to be the Rutland Cutlery Co. - since there isn't much left of it now.

Accidentally spotted when checking out the Canon Brewery site for future reference, few windows smashed in, rather weathered-looking 'to let' sign on the front.. Decided to have a peek inside. Reports from Dweeb and Ric from 2009 and 2011 respectively show what it used to look like when it still had some character, now it's just a relatively clean empty shell.

Outside and a view through the window.

Downstairs.

Upstairs - the big hole in the floor is still there, one of the only remainders of what the building used to be just a few years ago.

Good update! Thanks.

Remarkably clean place!

Is this the building that's literally over the road from cannon? I've seen it loads of times but just presumed it was cleaned up ready for sale so never bothered going in.

Live just around the corner from here and there's been a lot of activity inside recently by workmen. I'm guessing it may soon been another hipster bar/coffee shop to add to the collection (because there aren't enough of them in Kelham Island already apparently

great photo's, for info the interests of said group of companies were purchased by Carrs of Sheffield who are still very much in production, the shop set up by the previous owner is still very much open - Sheffield Scene off Surrey street
