April 2024 The Visit Did this one as a sole visit whilst in the Steele city, its been done a thousand times and I certainly missed it in its prime back in the day but I just couldn't resist the temptation to explore this place. I spent about an hour wandering around the now fairly dilapidated...

Introduction I’m aware this has been visited and posted numerous times on the forum, but this is a much-loved site amongst the community so I thought it would be worth sharing my stance on the place, albeit a bit late to the party. History Founded in 1836, George Barnsley & Sons Ltd...

Car Chapel, Sheffield. While on a road trip from Norfolk to Sheffield, me and my mate @dangas1000 made a stop off to this lovely little chapel which is full of old car parts, with several vehicles in the grounds. I initially saw it on a news article after a certain 'explorer' sold out to the...

Access to the ski slope was incredibly easy however at the main entrance there was a congregation of gypsy travellers who seemed to be residing at the site next to a large dumping spot. The slope had suffered a significant amount of vandalism and damage over the years including several arson...

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...
