The vacant four-storey building was formerly the University of Sheffield’s School of Nursing and Midwifery.

In 2010, education firm Niche applied to open a free school called Three Valleys Academy at the site but the plans never came to fruition.

Sir Humphry Davy invented the Davy lamp in 1815. It was used in coal mines to reduce the danger of explosions from flammable gases.
