Description: | William Ibbotson founder of Ibbotson Brothers, steel converters, refiners, manufacturers & worldwide merchants built the aptly named Globe Works in 1824. The main building was designed to incorporate a domestic residence. The west wing was residential, the east wing counting houses & warehouses. In 1863 he moved to a site on Cross Smithfield before purchasing the former workhouse on Alma Street which he renamed Globe Steel Works. After Ibbotson the main building was occupied by John Walters & Co.,table & spring cutlery manufacturers; 1865 taken over by Unwin & Rodgers Ltd., occupying Globe Works until 1911. 1912 occupied by G.P.Wall's Magneto Steel & Wire Co. The workshops also occupied by Ball Brothers from 1882-1895. The partnership dissolved in 1895 but William Ball continued to operate from Globe Works until the mid 1970's.
