Good Morning all! This was the first stop on our little up North tour. 20 hour round trip and no sleep! This was a nice little place, been on my list for a few years now but never really decided to go and visit until now. Access is one of the funniest I have ever encountered and we bumped into a...

So this was my first time visiting the Sheffield Courts, when the idea of visiting the place came up i was immediately looking forward to the day! This really is a great place to explore, take some shots and chill out Sheffield Old Town Hall stands on Waingate in central Sheffield, England...

Me and Ben began our usual roadtrip with a fairly early start which meant arriving at our first port of call; Sheffield, with good time to spare. The sun was shining and we headed straight for the disued Ski Village with my "Skiesta" in tow.... The Ski village was believed to be one of Europes...

This is actually the second part of mine and Landie Man's trip up to the land of pies and gravy this weekend but the first part was much more video-oriented as you'll find out in due course hopefully. Again the trip up was a mixed bag with some disappointing fails, some interesting experiences...

With only 3 hours sleep and a raging hangover from a couple of ‘quiet’ beers the night before, this was never going to be an easy explore. Suffered some post beer injuries, and a nasty fall here! Finally got the camera back after being fixed, so hope you like my shots. The place...

I travelled up to York for a wedding last week so decided to make the most of my time oop north and spent a couple of days in Sheffield. I visited the courts with Acid- Reflux who was kind enough to revisit the place on my behalf. Seeing as I had my suit with me I figured it would be rude if I...

Well, we all know where this is, it's still the same place it was last time everyone else went, my second visit, accompanied by Bearywierdy, GEORg who ruined uMbocKz and gingerDerpBirDrustyhairZ. Much better this time, wasn't full of uEtooo0r1zTz and there wasn't a pantomime horse to be seen...

I visited this treacherous site in the dark with a friend (ACID- REFLUX from 28DL) who took one for the team by going through the rotten floorboards just before we left :D The main attraction of this place for me was the rumour of 10 hidden paintings by the Sheffield based street artist...

A very cold but fun day out :)

Northern Trip Part 3 – Sheffield Crown Court So, continuing to try and cheer myself up; I went on a long awaited Northern Tour with my close friend TBM. After replacing his rig he very kindly gave me his now not needed Sigma 10-20 lens. Unfortunately we did not notice until the last moment...

The highlight on our Northern Road trip, visted with SX-RiffRaff, cheers pal for the driving ;) ,after a rather noisey and quite a painful entry on the man gems, we got in - and what a treat! The lower levels where live, with signs of squatters in one of the lower rooms, with a working TV and...

Visited solo. I'd wanted to do this the week before when I did the Courthouse but I was worn out after that so I knocked it back again. Having another free weekend to do something, I thought why not try this? So back over to Sheffield I went. And I'm glad I did! Looking at reports, nothing...
