Report - Kenyons Precision Grindings, Loxley, Sheffield, May 2013

[HughieD]

1. The History
Formally located on Little Matlock Lane, Loxley, Sheffield, there is next to nothing on this place.

2. The Explore
An archive explore from way back. Never posted this at the time, maybe because it was nothing special plus I could find no information on it. The best thing about this derped factory was the graff. Like a lot of former sites in the Loxley area, it’s all now long gone, and a new residential development occupies the site. So more for the document and archive than for being that amazing a place.

Ah I miss Kenyons! Lived right nearby so always used to pop in to check if there’d been any new graff. And ‘Isolated Together’ is probs my favourite piece by Phlegm.
Hope you don’t mind me adding to your thread, but here’s a few phone pics from 2014. Graff by Coloquix and Sillart.

Nicely covered. Would this be it?

Built as Kenyon’s Rolling Mills just before WW1 and operated into the 1970s before being purchased by a Precision Grinding company who later moved to larger and more modern premises at Neepsend. Kenyon’s was originally two brothers who operated numerous steel mills and then went their separate ways and into competition with each other.
