The former water board Filter Houses which filtered water from the Agden, Dale Dike and Strines reservoirs in Bradfield Dale are just outside Sheffield in the Loxley Valley. The Filter Houses were built in 1913 and extended in 1953 before being closed in 1995 when a new water treatment works was opened in the Loxley valley, the buildings are derelict and unused at present.

A big valve. It wouldn't turn, much to the relief of the residents nearby.

This corridor had some good plans on the wall.

I'd always wondered where this gentleman lived. It's on this wall.

This place is a great place, and, considering it is pretty stripped, is a really chilled explore. I loved it.

I definetly like the main wherehouse with the Iron supports in the roof. It sort of reminds me of a station.:)
