Had a trip over to Sheffield yesterday to have a look around. Met up with a few other explorers in the pouring rain, got soaked but had a great time.

Union Carbide.

Valve gear.

Power Isolator.

Gantry Crane.

Electrical Equipment.

Williams Brothers.

17th century part of the building. Very much decayed.

The "aloosa" high speed tool furnace.

Wheel less barrow.

Batteries.

One of many safes.

More old safes.

Old Graffiti.

Flooded roof.

Skylight. In need of cleaning.

Do you know your fire extinguisher?

Wrong sized nut.

Wet wire.

Great photos Spawny and great to meet you and the guys....lovely weather wasnt it!.

I am so so so so so so peeved off. My first trip out with what I would call a Point & Shoot camera (my new Canon G9) and more importantly my first trip out with SD cards! Got back last night and found that my 8GB SD card is corrupt and completely useless! So I lost all my images

Went back to Sheffield today determinded not to have a wasted weekend, will post some images up shortly (no indoor things, but did get a few good shots and some ideas for places to visit in future). Oh and today absolutely noone at Park Hill - place was deserted!

Thanks to zero seven four for the tour, and I have to vouch that I was utterly impressed by you fella. You showed professionalism on the day both to your fellow explorers and the environment and sites we visited all the while having Health & Safety at the top of the agenda. Top bloke!

urban exploration is simply the idea we could enter that secret world and never return; or, better, that we could burn away this one, to reveal the one beneath entirely http://pretentiousartist.com/
