See what it was like to live in this two-storey cottage, furnished to show what living conditions were like for workers in the mid-1800s.
The row of Workers' Cottages was built between 1786 and 1793.The Cottages traditionally housed the 'forgemaster' and his 'heater lad' who worked in the Tilt Forge, amongst other people.
Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £5 to help safeguard and celebrate Sheffield’s rich, unique heritage
