Not the most exciting of sites architecturally but if you like graff then you are in for a mini-treat. 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 probably been derelict since the early 60s. The trams returned in 1994 in the shape of Supertram costing £240 million pounds. Ironically a new Supertram depot sits just over the fence next to the old one.

The building itself is not that interesting - it’s more to do with the fact that it now 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). Beyond that, there’s not much to tell so on with the pictures.

Thanks for looking!
 
I really like that hughie..the graffiti is great in there.you really are spoilt there in Sheffield for graffiti.
 
Fantastic shots. Been on my list a while and this report has just knocked it up a few places!
Thanks for sharing :)
 
Cheers for the kind comments folks. A nice little relaxed mooch between the big draw-card sites when you're on a Sheffield Explore! Yes, very blessed with graff artists in the steel city

Liked the boot Hughie, Nicely Done, Thanks

Cheers Smiler! Yeah...you always wonder what the story behind things like this don't you?
 
I do enjoy graffiti like this. You can tell thought has actually been put into their work rather than those crappy "tags" you see about
 
Great report as usual Hughie!
As a tram enthusiast myself, even more interesting!
