The History (Credit to @HughieD ) Situated between Cotton Mill Row, Cotton Street and Alma Street, Sheffield, Falcon works were built in the 1930s for light industrial use after the site was cleared as part of a 1931 Clearance Order. Originally standing three storeys tall, the premises were...

One of the many pubs that were situated around Broad Street, now it seems it may only be this one and the Ye Old Harrow that still stands. There really isn't much at all inside this pub and there is little indication that it was actually ever even a pub. You can check out all my photos from...

One of the many pubs that were situated on Broad Street, now it seems it may only be this one and The Durham Ox that still stands. Sadly, there isn't much left inside this pub, as the whole place is severely fire damaged. You can check out all my photos from this explore here on my Flickr...

A ganister (or sometimes gannister) is hard, fine-grained quartzose sandstone, or orthoquartzite, used in the manufacture of silica brick typically used to line furnaces. Ganisters are cemented with secondary silica and typically have a characteristic splintery fracture. You can check out all...

1. The History Can find very little history on this place. The former Distribution Warehouse is in an area known as Hallamshire Works on Boyland Street, in the Neepsend district of Sheffield on a 1.8-acre site. The site was well-placed due to its direct access into Sheffield city centre and out...

The surrounding buildings definitely look very neo-egyptian and it almost makes the site look like its a themed area out of a closed theme park. There isn't that much other than the buildings and the kilns to see here, but still, a worthwhile explore. You can check out all my photos from this...

A nice little explore, the inside to this building is much bigger than it looks from the outside! You can check out all my photos from this explore here on my Flickr. Background: Buxton pumping plant (also seen referenced as Stanley Moor Waterworks) was originally constructed by The Buxton...

Sadly there is pretty much nothing left at the Sheffield Ski Village. In fact, soon it will be hardly recognisable that the site was ever used to be the skiing centre! Nether the less, this was something on our list that we'd wanted to see for a while so we made our way up into the Sheffield...

Although there isn't much left here and a lot of the site is pretty bare, this is still a nice easy explore - especially for anyone looking for somewhere who is particularly new to this! The site is pretty big and offers a range of wall art to be found. You can check out all my photos from...

History Sheffield's Attercliffe Tram Sheds have been in use since 1873, when the trams were drawn by horses. The first line on the network was between Attercliffe and Lady's Bridge. Originally, it was operated by the Sheffield Tramways Company, but the city council took over the trams in...

One of the first sites that I visited when first being introduced to urban exploring, I wasn't disappointed at the tremendous view of Sheffield that was on offer at the top of this building. You can view all my photos from this explore here on my Flickr. Background: Located in the Broomhill...

Sadly there isn't much left of this place now, it seems like time has taken its tole on the building and its insides. But nether the less, I decided to delve inside and see what is left of this explore. You can check out all my photos from this explore here on my Flickr. Background: Despite...

Nothing that special, but here is an update (more so of the graffiti) on the Tram sheds in Sheffield. History credit : HughieD This very long brick-built building is what used to be Attercliffe Tram Sheds. It was used for servicing the city’s trams when we had trams the first time around. The...

I am sorry as I can't find much history on these and I did't have my camera with me so these are all from my phone. These buildings have a military look to the outside. Inside contain shared living spaces, multiple bedrooms/ bathrooms and communal dining and social rooms. I would love to know...

Hi, Been on this website a few times and always felt intrigued to get more involved so finally made an account today. I’ve had a good read of the rules and tips for first time members which were very helpful. Seems like until you have something to provide to other people on this forum, don’t...

Me and a few of my mates are new to urban exploring and are really struggling to find places. We started to use the 'hell on earth treasure map' but in all honesty it's a bit shit. We mainly want to gain access for photography/videography. We are from Barnsley (Yorkshire) but are willing to...

Hi, Matt from Sheffield Wondering if there’s anyone around Sheffield that wants to get out exploring some time? We have some decent spots to visit around here. Anyway if your interested let me know

Chubb Fire and Security Systems Introduction I believe this is the first report to document this site as far as I'm aware, unfortunately I don't have much history on the place as it's not readily available despite my research attempts. On first glance this site didn't look like it had much to...

Hit me up on Instagram if your from around the sheffield area and want to explore @_lewb_

I'm a 21 year old female looking for new places to visit around Derby and Sheffield. New to this site and new to urbex. Visited Sheffield Ski Village recently and loved it, so please can I have suggestions of an area I could go to in these areas?
