Not been able to get out of town as much in recent weeks so popped into this place for a quick mooch. Not the most exciting of sites architecturally but the graff is good and thought it would have changed a bit since the last time I was here.
Not much 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 plays host to what can best be described as one long urban art gallery featuring some of Sheffield’s top graff artists (Coloquix, Mars etc).

Not much change here graff-wise:

MARS's fine piece on the end wall survives:

As does this one:

But this nice Coloquix has been partially painted over by something fairly crap:

And the other MARS piece has bitten the dust too:

Think this is a newbie:

Nothing too exciting, I know, but at least managed to get my camera out and snapping!
