This was the last site on my Sheffield tour, and stopped here with Miz Firestorm on the way home. I've wanted to do these for quite a while now, so it was nice to get round to visiting them. Pictures aren't the best, but it's safe to say i was feeling a little sleep deprived at the time haha! Didn't realize the shear size of these thing's until I tried to get them all in 1 picture.. think i ended up walking about 3 miles back to get them all in
Kept it short and sweet, so i better get on with some picture..
As always, thanks for looking!
