Wilsons have been producing snuff on this site since the eighteenth century and  still run

this successful Sheffield business.

The product range  includes traditional clay pipes hand-made in a time-tested manner’

The charming buildings/mill  constitute a rare oasis of Georgian elegance and practicality close to the heart of

England’s fourth largest city.

Initially powered solely by the River Porter, steam-power was introduced in 1797 and the capacity of the mills has been gradually increased over the years.

The water wheel  continues to work, still deriving its power from the little River Porter !.
