Report - Storr's Bridge/Hepworth's Fire Brick works, Loxley, Sheffield October-November 2020

[HughieD]

1. The History
I've been to this place a number of times so you can find the history of this place on this previous report HERE.

2. The Explore
This area is a massive one, spread over three sites. Furthest down-stream is Storr's Fire clay works, across the river of another large set of brick kilms, then o to this area formally known as Storr's Bridge Fire Brick works, latterly owned by Hepworths. This is the biggest site with larger derelict factories one side of the river and smaller factories and admin blocks the other. There are a group smaller admin blocks I'd not been in before and they yielded some decent graff pics so posting them here.

3. The Pictures

The larger factories on the south bank:

But we're concentrating on the north bank of the river this time:

This is an old pump house I think:

Next door is the more modern pre-fab factory:

With this lovely Brayk piece:

This building was trashed:

So on to this place:

Some more lovely pieces by Brayk:

Digging the 50's staircase:

And some by another Sheffield graff star, Colorquix:

On to the bath house over the way:

A while since someone clocked in or out:

The facilities are looking a bit sad:

And the locker room:

Sheffield defianly has some talented graffiti artists, I think the artwork makes up for most of the graff industrial parts of Sheffield.
Class pics as always as well mate.

I think a lot of the good graff is Edna or Kid Acne. All good non the less, feel I might need to pop over here.
