Portland Works

I thoroughly enjoyed filming this story about Portland Works in Sheffield. It's 12 years since the community in Sheffield saved the historic industrial landmark from being turned into flats. Portland Works is steeped in Sheffield history - it was built in 1879 and was the first place in the world to manufacture stainless steel cutlery. It's still home to cottage industries today. I also wrote this article for the BBC News website on the story.
