Green Lane Works, Sheffield

Green Lane Works is a Grade II star listed building in Sheffield. The works built in 1795 formerly housed Hoole and Company firm manufactured ornamental stove grates and fenders using bronze materials. The owner Henry E. Hoole carried out significant restorations on the factory when he became Lord Mayor of Sheffield in 1859.

Green Lane Works is known for its entrance gate, which is unique for being an ornate piece of factory architecture. It was reconstructed in 1860 using designs by sculptor Alfred Stevens. It is built from stucco, brick, and stone. The gate includes the carving of a female head, reliefs of the Greek gods Hephaestus and Athena, and the name of the works. It also has a cupola with a clock and a weather vane.

The factory passed hands several times over the years but ceased all operations in 2009. Today, as part of the Little Kelham Development, Green Lane Works has been converted into commercial space.
