A piece of Sheffield's industrial heritage goes under the hammer on the 27th March with the sale of Princess Works - the birthplace of Stainless Steel. The former Brown-Firth Research Laboratories saw research by Harry Brearley in the early part of the last Century into Chromium Steel and later his successor Dr W H Hatfield was instrumental in developing new high quality stainless steels that are now the most popular throughout the whole world
