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 and warehouses. In 1863 Ibbotson moved to a site on Cross Smithfield before purchasing the former workhouse on Alma Street which he renamed Globe Steel Works.
