use of the space at Portland Works, including Mary Sewell and Linda Doughty. One of the most notable pieces of artwork created by any of the artists in Portland Works is that depicting the ghost of Portland Works (a painting by Mary Sewell). In Spring 2019, Portland Works was the subject for a new painting by British artist, Joe Scarborough. Titled "Life in the Big Village", the painting depicted a cutaway view of Portland Works set within a wider Sheffield city backdrop. A limited edition series of prints was subsequently made available for purchase Theatre In July 2020, Portland Works formed a partnership with Only Lucky Dogs Theatre Ltd to produce new, original theatre performances in the building's recently renovated "Makerspace". Campaign Portland Works is one of very few Sheffield metal trades buildings to have a continuous history of manufacturing since its construction, in 1877. For many years it was the home of R. F.

The building is now community owned and operated by over 500 shareholders through one of the largest community benefit societies in the UK. Since 2013 a dedicated group of volunteers have been renovating the building, working to preserve as much of the original fabric as possible. By late 2017 about 25% of the Works had been so restored. The volunteers have focussed on retaining as much of the original fabric as possible, leading to extensive work being done to retain original pitch-pine window frames, hand forging replacement window catches and pointing the brickwork with lime mortars. Interiors are being done equally sensitively whilst attempting to provide some degree of modern comforts, such as roof insulation, good lighting and fire alarms. Meanwhile much work is being done in 2018 on restoring many of the complex roofs, funded by an HLF grant. A shared meeting space has been created from two street-side
