A big day was on the cards as three intrepid souls: Nij, KooK and I set off to invade South Yorkshire from across its Northern border intent on conquering some of the jewels in Sheffield's industrial crown.
After a number of false starts, some wrong turns and run ins with security at various sites we eventually managed to find our way into Guanocliffe sorry... Wharnecliffe Works by accident (as reported here by Nij)
After a bite, a pint and a bask in the late summer sunshine we tasked ourselves with the day's prize: George Barnsley Tools.
History can be found here and there are numerous reports to be found on this site.
I tried to capture the colourful details that were lying around as it was such a gloomy place with its darkly stained hardwood rackings, work benches and the like. Other reports have highlighted the dark mood, so I thought I'd attempt to do the reverse.
Anyhow, on with the photos.
Rod and his antiseptic.
