Cutlers' Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cutlers' Hall is a Grade II* listed building in Sheffield, England that is the headquarters of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. It is located on Church Street opposite Sheffield Cathedral, and was built in 1832 by Samuel Worth and Benjamin Broomhead Taylor. It was extended in 1865–7 by Flockton & Abbott, and again in 1888 by J. B. Mitchel-Withers. It is Sheffield's third Cutlers' Hall, the previous buildings, which were built in the same location, were constructed in 1638 and 1725.
The Hall's front is of the Corinthian order. Today, the building is used for many of the grandest events in the city's civic and commercial events, for instance the annual Cutlers' Feast.
The banks neighbouring the Cutlers' Hall are in a similar style. One was designed by Samuel Worth in 1838, the other was completed in 1867.
