Steel at Home What a Sheffield works made for the kitchen table

Table knives, carvers and forks from Tenter Lane, and the kitchens in Leeds, Hull and London they ended up in.

Where
The top-floor gallery
Tickets
Included with entry: £8, under-18s free
Four worn silver-plated table forks laid side by side, the plating worn through at the tips.

Merrin & Sons made cutlery in this building for 111 years. Steel at Home followed the knives and forks out of the packing room and into other people’s kitchens, using letters sent back to the works and pieces lent by visitors.
