1. The History
This place has been a pretty regular explore for me over the years so you can find the history bit on a previous report HERE

2. The Explore
A relaxed wander on a spring day last year. It was easy access to the whole site like it has had been for a number of years. I’ve been many a time here but keep returning, mainly for the ever-changing graffiti. The site is pretty trashed and there is nothing of particular interest bar the graff and the fact that it is Sheffield’s last extensive industrial wasteland.

3. The Pictures
Inspired by @Featherstone and their recent report, given that this place now appears to be off bounds given the rather puzzling ramping up of security. It’s had a tendency to get overlooked by many explorers but if you spend a bit of time here, you can get some good shots here. A number of people have shot music videos here too.

The buildings to the right of the access road, opposite the river:

And back over to the main factory buildings. Had glorious weather!

Nice bit of Colorquix hiding away here:

And on to the big spaces:

Always love a bit of Brayk:

A bit of original signage:

The big place cross the way is just vacuous and empty:

This one with the Brayk piece in is clever:
