Shepherd Wheel Workshop

Shepherd Wheel Workshop

Watermill

A unique working example of Sheffield knife grinding industry. One of many small water-powered grinding workshops along Sheffield's rivers and the earliest complete example, dating back to the 1500s and now listed Grade II. Here skilled grinders produced fine, sharp cutting edges until the 1930s. Restored working waterwheel and machinery, and tools of the trade for cutlery grinding.
