In 1872, Robert Hadfield (Snr), who had been involved in local government work, began his own steel casting business on a site close by the River Don, off Newhall Road, Attercliffe. Success was assured when he became able to produce materials and castings which had previously to be imported from France. By the mid-1890s, with work at high levels the company needed to expand from their restrictive site and bought acres (m²) of land in Tinsley. On this they built a new works, known as East Hecla Works which opened in 1897.

This site is now mainly covered by the Meadowhall Shopping Centre, the old factory being flattened in the early 1980s as part of the regeneration of the East end of Sheffield following the closure of many of the local factories in the 1970s
