1. The History
Still not managed to turn up much in the way of history around but 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 system closed on 8th October 1960, so this place has been derelict since the early 60s. The trams returned in 1994 in the shape of Super-tram costing £240 million pounds. Ironically a new Supertram depot sits just over the fence next to the old one.
The building is not that interesting but did play host to what can best be described as one long urban art gallery featuring some of Sheffield’s top graff artists (Coloquix, Mars etc).
2. The Explore
Been coming here for a number of years. It’s not spectacular by any means but it’s array of graff has always meant it has been worth to pop in to see what is new. This time around I was up the road with an hour or so to kill while the garage worked on my car. Hence took the short walk down. Entrance as always was easy. This site has been cleared a bit but the graff in the main shed continues to go downhill. Even the gable end Mr Marrs piece has sadly been painted over now. So, nothing to go out of your way for but worth the odd hour of your time if you are in the area.
3. The Pictures
A few externals:
A classic Mr Marrs piece is lost to some second rate graff:
At least it was a sunny day!
Wheelz:
The bit that was turned into a skate park:
This piece was new and pretty decent:
Classic bit of Brayk:
That gable end Mr Marrs piece that has been painted over by some tat graff:
One of the newer tram sheds:
Love this classic troll graff:
The firebugs have torched this building since I last came:
The old platforms:
