So this wasn’t really meant to be an explore. Had a bit of down time but didn’t have my camera or gear. Headed off for a walk round the area of Sheffield just between of Netherthorpe and Neepsend. Came across the old Ridgway Tools building. I’ve done this massive place before (report HERE ) but though I’d take some externals on my phone and then a few sneaky peeks inside through the windows as it’s due from demo pretty soon. In the end the resulting pictures came out OKish so hence this report. Then I went on a wander around the area snapping a few nearby derelicts.

Nice one Hughie, spotted these too when I was last in Sheffield. I believe the yellow one opposite Ridgway was used by the university for storage and the one after was B Braun Medical. Sadly far too much activity around for anything other than a quick look :(

Think you are right. So much building work there...student flats galore.
 
I enjoyed your stroll around Sheffield Hughie, from a phone those are good pics and you choose some interesting shots. Nicely Done, Thanks
 
i do like that area,did you look at footprint up the road ? id imagine its all gone now tho :(
 
looks like you had a nice walk about Hughie and good photos from the phone too.
 
I do like the art deco of Ridgeway, wish more buildings could be converted instead of demoed by default.

I like that grimy part of Sheffield its seen proper work back in the day, thanks for the updates on that part of Sheffield...do you know if Cannon Brewery has turned to rubble yet, I really liked that place too.

Cheers PV. They have been in getting Cannon ready for demo for ages but from the outside looks same as it always has. Been the odd report on other sites but much harder to do these days.
