It produced record tools. Many of these tools are still around today such as gilbow tinsnips, chisels, hammers, auger bits, hollow square mortice chisels, flat bits, counter sink bits and pipe wrench chains. There is an history of record tools and other sheffield tools in kelham island museum. Not sure when it was built, closed towards end of 2003, my partner said he finished in august of that year and there were a few staff left behind to wind the business up. It got sold to the American tool company and I think they still produce tools under the record name, but are nowhere near as good as what sheffield record used to produce. The biggest number of workers at doncaster st, record tools was approximately 100 workers, they had another site at parkway, which had approximately 1000 workers. Who knows what the plans are for it now, its had pending demolition boards up for last 2 or 3 years, in area it is, I would say prime redevelopment land for student or professional accommodation.
