The historic landmark was built in the early part of the 19th century as a collection of workshops for the manufacture of shears and various other hand tools.
During the 19th century, the Yard was utilised by a horn dealer, who provided the cutlery handle-making trade, Sheffield platers, knife manufacturers and silver stampers.In the 1880s the building was known as the Cambridge Street Horn Works and in 1892, Henry Leah ran the building as a producer of die stamps for silverware and subsequently gave the building the name it has today.
Near the end of the 19th century, steam power was established to run a grinding hull and drop hammers in a silver die stamping shop.
