George Barnsley and Sons Sheffield - October 2012

I think the history will have been covered on this place already, what little bit there is anyway.

Our visit: Second spot of the day, well technically the 4th or 5th but the 2nd in terms of a report as the others were either too secure or a waste of time . Ryan gets the credit for this one having looked it up on his mobile while we were driving around scouting other potential locations. Upon arrival we bumped into a couple of fellow explorers who were just making their exit and who kindly pointed us in the right direction in terms of access. Without going into too much detail I almost needed a change of underwear after getting inside on what must be one of the scariest entry points I’d ever had lol! Big shout out to the guys who mentioned it and to Ryan and Sam for having the balls to go first . Once inside we had a good look around and covered most of the place (Sam and Ryan probably saw every inch while I was busy taking photos). The place is quite well preserved and has a nice few bits to see, I’m glad we stopped off for a visit here and I’d probably go back if I could must up the courage On with the photos:





























Theres a few more photos of this visit on my blog (link in my sigi) but think ive got the best ones here

WOW! What else can I say, by the looks of it tis well hidden away to remain like that, you've gotta go back!

A mighty fine explore indeed, and still looking good. Never saw the Burroughs machine on our visit.

Congrats on your arse twitching entry Ours was a little more conventional

I believe they made tools in particular Files to begin with then all sorts of other tools used in the shoe making and leather trade
