Whilst visiting family, my nephew and me decided to go for a tour!

A difficult to find but interesting place to visit, what makes it special is the fact that the building was never demolished. Well hidden as a wall was built around the whole centre and was buried once the doors were closed and covered. It now serves as a car park raised a storey above the roadside.

I previously lived in Sheffield for numerous years and my Grandfathers and their fathers used to be employed in the 'steel works'. One of which was Firth Brown Steels, which was initially formed in 1902, when Sheffield steelmakers John Brown and Company exchanged shares and came to a working agreement with neighbouring company Thomas Firth & Sons. The companies continued under their own management until they formally merged in 1930 becoming Firth Brown Steels Limited. The medical centre was part of the Firth Brown's and was used for medicals to look after any injured employees from the factories.
