Williams Fasteners, was founded in 1870 by the Williams brothers, and was based at Green Lane in Shalesmoor in Sheffield until 1997. The company then relocated to the outskirts of Sheffield near the M1 to make distribution easier. It’s really nice to see it didn’t shut down.

It is this original site that is currently available to exploration. However the place, with its nooks and crannies, has been purchased for redevelopment and so will probably see workmen starting soon and all the cubbies will be ripped out.

One has to wonder if Mr Williams was some kind of obsessive compulsive, everything in its place - kind of a dude. I can just picture him wandering around – not a nut or bolt out place! I’ve never seen so many cupboards in my life!!

I loved this explore. We got disorientated inside and a bit lost in the dark amongst the cuboards. It has the feel of an old family business, lots of cool health and safety posters from the 80s proffering good advice.

In 2005 the company changed hands and for the first time the Williams family were no longer a part of the management of this local Sheffield business.

Looks like an interesting explore. Love the photo of the gothic window viewed through the broken one...classic...and the sunny patches are amazing. :)
