About Steel's Engineering:

"Steels Engineering traces its origins back to 1879 when it was founded by Lancelot Steel in Sunderland. Once being, whilst under the stewardship of Sir James Steel, one of the largest industrial companies in the North East of England. In 1998, a management buy-out from German ownership led to the formation of Steel Group, SESL was registered the following year and SEDL in 2005.
Bonds was started in 1868, and carries the name of John Bond who held one of the first UK patents for Steel. Steel Group acquired the business and registered a new company in 2000."

After many attempts, we finally got some good pictures of this place, most of it was demo'd so there wasn't a whole lot to see. We only explored the main buildings as the other 2 storey building seemed unstable and the other buildings were burned down. The site is mostly used by edgy teens going to drink alcohol and set fires causing a lot of security in the area. We only spent about 20 minutes inside because there wasn't too much to see apart from the places you see in the pictures.

So enjoy.

Nice one for getting out there, however, it's a pretty pic heavy report of an un-interesting place & I don't mean that disrespectfully. There's a few images not worth putting on the report, first 3 for a kick off. But still, nice to see others getting out & about.

Is it still standing ? Do you know who owns it’s now ? Cheers

yes, it's partially remaining but I really wouldn't bother.
