cannon brewery

History (from @dansgas1000 ) The company dates back to the 19th century when William Stones founded William Stones Ltd. Stones started brewing in the city a number of years prior with Joseph Watts but Watts later died. Stones bought the Neepsend Brewery site and renamed it Cannon Brewery. He...

It seems like it has been on the cards for ages, but its been hard to imagine Neepsend without the hulking image of the former Cannon Brewery. Now though, it has finally gone. The only buildings to avoid the demolition master's wrecking ball have been the main brewing building where the big...

"The £11.6m publicly-funded project aiming to transform the site will be open and accessible to everyone in Sheffield" Having heard that the brewery will be redeveloped for years now, it's seems hard to believe that the project is truly moving forward.. But it seems it finally is. This is the...

Few shots from the less popular side of Cannon with @fastchrisuk , bigger than you think this place. These killer stairs are underground to the far left of the site

Introduction I first visited the site during summer last year but as I was in a rush I didn’t take the camera. This time though, I wanted to return with the camera and get a report up. Visited with @V50jake. Information & History I won’t go into the history in too much detail as it has been...

Nice to be able to get back into Cannon with @fastchrisuk today. Went a bit mental not so long ago with the amount of people going there, brought a lot of attention and ended up on lockdown. But nice and quiet and easily got in, had the whole place to ourselves. Was good to be able to just roam...

Managed to wiggle our way into Cannon brewery in Sheffield today. Would have been worth a better explore but we left as it was getting dark The explore itself was fairly straightforward apart from a few shear drops and some holes no real hazards are in place Lovely sunset Very picturesque...

1. The History The origins of Stones beer goes right back to 1847 when Joseph Watts of Dewsbury and William Stones (1827 -1894) of Sheffield began brewing together at the Cannon Brewery in Sheffield's Shalesmoor district. The name is most likely come from the nearby foundry that cast gun...

Seen on the way to another location. Easy to get into and you notice immidiately the sheer amount of graffiti artwork in this place from some very talented artists. The site is fairly safe and secure although demolition has been on the cards for a while.

It's been done plenty but as it's the 1st time I managed to get in I thought I'd share.....glad I got in before it turned into Meadowhall the following weekend & is now shut up again. William Stones started brewing at the premises in Acorn Street, Sheffield, where this brewery took up all the...

Evening all, first report on here. I know this ones been done to death, but we've all gotta start somewhere. History So the brewery first opened its doors in 1868 as William Stones brewery in Neepsend, Sheffield. However the brewery was operating previous to this under a different name. It was...

Explore This was the first explore I have ever done so go easy on me! I know people have seen this brewery posted a lot so I hope you're not too sick of seeing reports on this place. I visited with 3 friends, @Roofus @Doshix and 1 non member, @Roofus has explored this place many times so he was...

History The brewery was originally opened in 1868 by William Stones in Sheffield, and was a successful venture, making him one of the richest men in Sheffield by his death in 1894. Stones Bitter was brewed there from 1948 and was especially popular with Sheffield’s steelworkers. The brewery was...

It’s funny. You’re never a tourist at home right? Ironic that it’s taken up until now for me to do this place. It is one of the Sheffield Big 3 along with the former Law Courts and GBs. But the fact that the go-ahead as been given to demolish the former Stone’s Brewery in Neepsend finally pushed...

Visited the brewery with @woopashoopaa @Vulex and friend tom. Was our place and we really enjoyed it here the site is quite big not a lot left of things to see relating to the brewery left. But some very good graff to be see. On arrival we were met by some people dressed up lol. So thought it...
