This list details the main records for a large number of iron and steel firms available at Sheffield City Archives and Sheffield Local Studies Library. It is not a complete list of companies and it omits some items such as extracts and articles from journals and newspapers. It also omits, on the whole, businesses that were solely concerned with small tool manufacturer. In addition to business archives, there is other material available such as trade directories, industry magazines and photographs, local authority planning application plans and large scale ordnance survey maps etc. which are not listed here. Consequently customers are advised to search the Sheffield Local Studies Library and Archives catalogues in addition to checking this list. The description and address for each company has been taken, in most instances, either from Kelly’s Directory of Sheffield and Rotherham of 1851 or White’s Sheffield trade Directory of 1900. It is acknowledged, however that the description and address of companies may have changed in the intervening and subsequent years. Where a significant amount of material is available in other museums, libraries and archives these are noted.
